About The Surge: The game takes place in the world of CREO, a megacorporation that presents itself as saving the world. A catastrophic event knocks the player out on the very first day of the job, and they wake up in a wrecked section of the complex wearing a heavy-grade exoskeleton, surrounded by robots gone haywire, deranged augmented co-workers and a rogue AI — everything wants them dead. Combat is tight and visceral, fought up close, and specific limbs of enemies can be targeted and sliced off, with a loot system in which you receive whatever you dismember. Weapons and armour cut from foes can be equipped, upgraded and crafted, and players grow stronger through a fresh take on levelling up.

About these games

The Surge 2

The Surge 2 is an action RPG in which you try to survive and explore the sprawling, devastated Jericho City. Your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands on the outskirts. Weeks later you wake up in a derelict detention facility inside the city, where martial law is enforced, robots run amok, and a dark nanostorm keeps spreading over the cityscape. Combat is brutal and unforgiving melee: you slash and tear off your enemies' limbs to loot their equipment. You develop your character with weapons, armors, abilities, implants and drones, and face colossal bosses.

Scar-Lead Salvation

In Scar-Lead Salvation you play as Willow, who wakes up in a deserted military facility with no memory and only an AI in her ear. You must fight a swarm of mechanical enemies using various weapons, status effects and unique skills. Each death sends you back to the start, and every attempt reveals a bit more about the facility and Willow’s past. Each floor has a procedurally generated layout with new foes and gear; precise dodges and parries build Exo Force, which unleashes Onslaught Mode and temporary invincibility.

AI LIMIT

AI LIMIT is a post-apocalyptic wasteland sci-fi action RPG set in the distant future, when civilization is on the verge of extinction and people follow the legend of Elysium in the last city, Havenswell. You play as Arrisa, a Blader with immortality, exploring the city’s ruins, sewers, slums and the sky city above the lake to uncover the truth about the fall of civilization. You fight powerful monsters, respawn after death through the Branches, which must be repaired, and combine weapons, weapon skills and spells cast from your left hand.

Steelrising

Paris, 1789. Louis XVI has crushed the French Revolution in blood with his merciless mechanical army. Aegis, an automaton built by the engineer Vaucanson as the queen's bodyguard, must face the king's forces alone to save history in this challenging action-RPG.

With carriages, a grappling hook and secret passages, they explore a city of alternative history and meet Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette and Robespierre.

Empyreal

Empyreal is an action RPG set on an unexplored planet, where an expedition finds a colossal Monolith built by a lost civilisation. An elite mercenary ventures inside to face the remaining automatons and uncover its secrets. Skill-based combat mixes parries, deflects and timed abilities with RPG builds, with three weapon archetypes to choose from: the Glaive, the Mace & Shield or the Cannon. Expedition members have personal questlines with multiple endings, and Cartograms are blueprints that define aspects of each level, such as enemies and loot.

CRYMACHINA

You switch between three playable main characters in fast-paced combat against mechanical foes, with many tactics for customizing your weapons.

The story opens in modern times, as a strange disease spreads: a girl named Leben Distel, close to death, hears a mysterious voice and wakes in a dark world, greeted by an android named Enoa in a structure where machines strive to create ‘Real Humans’ and restore humanity.
