MAXIMA: Keepers of the 2nd Law
SteamUnleash devastating power in this surreal third-person shooter. Charge orbs of raw energy in your hands to obliterate enemies in explosive bursts of particles. Bring down floating monoliths threatening the universe, and battle through a visually stunning sci-fi hellscape with supernatural abilities.

Complete challenging objectives, adapt to ever-shifting threats, and master the flow of combat by harnessing powerful abilities and managing your most vital resource: energy.
Charge your shots for devastating impact, switching between tactical shot types like the pinpoint Supernova, the devastating Superheated, or the explosive Overcharged. Upgrade and adapt your arsenal through a branching ability tree, shaping your combat style to overcome any challenge.
Each level in MAXIMA: Keepers of the 2nd Law is a unique battleground, blending surreal environments with intense combat encounters. Fight through supernatural enemies while completing high-stakes objectives to dismantle the level’s central floating monolith. Destroy its tethered connections to unleash spectacular events that transform the landscape and drive the story forward.
When the monolith falls, brace yourself for an epic confrontation: a powerful boss awaits. Overcome the challenge, claim victory, and press on toward your mission’s ultimate goal.
Customize your Keeper with abilities unlocked from a branching skill tree. Enhance your combat prowess with upgrades like Blink for short-range teleportation, Shield to summon rocks that block incoming fire, or Recover to regain health. Unleash devastating powers like Polarise for area-of-effect damage, Barrage to charge all shots at once, or evolve your arsenal with upgrades like Supernova+ and Superheated+ for burst-fire attacks. Tailor your strategy with stat boosts and tactical perks that shape your playstyle, ensuring every choice matters in the fight for survival.
From collapsing monoliths to falling debris, each level transforms during combat. Use shifting terrain and strategic orb clusters to gain an edge, but beware—your enemies will exploit the chaos just as much as you.
Rogue entities have discovered how to harvest the energy-rich cluster fields to fuel their insatiable ambitions. This illegal exploitation destabilizes entire systems, threatening the natural balance of the universe. As a Keeper of the 2nd Law, your mission is to stop the harvest, destroy the monoliths draining the cluster fields, and restore order.
