Steam
System Reject is a top-down sci-fi action role-playing game set in an underground laboratory owned by a powerful corporation, a company with significant influence in the world due to its advanced technologies in military sector. The game takes place in the near future, where a biological threat and the hacking of artificial intelligence protocols have turned the lab's security systems against its own staff.

Players take control of one or two members of a special unit tasked with infiltrating the complex to stop a scientist. Along the way, they will encounter hordes of zombies, high-tech security systems, military personnel from the company, and various other challenges. Your mission is to explore the underground levels of the lab, scavenging for rare resources and solving puzzles in order to complete your mission. Resource management is crucial as players must make strategic choices in weapon selection, modification and ammunition usage due to limited resource supplies.

With over 10 types of weapons, special abilities such as black holes and teleportation, unique melee weapons for each character, close-combat and different types of grenades, players will experience dynamic gameplay. Gamers can also upgrade their characters to improve attributes such as movement speed, attack power or energy shield capacity, and use rare skill points to unlock additional perks.

Gameplay ranges from fast-paced battles against waves of infected to tactical advancement through mined and trap-filled sectors. Dive into the heart of events to uncover the truth about the complex, which may drastically alter your perception of the entire story. Take on zombies and robots and test your survival and resource management skills as they are put to the ultimate challenge.
