Be part of an
elite organization
You are the Corporate Security Agency’s greatest weapon, and it's your job to make sure the corporations and their shady deals are anything but secure. With the team at HQ backing you up, you're tossed headfirst into the fray, where a military operation with plausible deniability can fix things for a fraction of the cost of a hopeless court case.
Corporations
TORA HEAVY INDUSTRIES (THI)
Country of origin: Japan
Biome: Street
Boss: Spider think-tank
Motto: 虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず。
“If you do not enter the tiger’s cave, you will not catch its cub”
The largest mega-corp in Japan, its products range from farming equipment (a respectful nod to the zaibatsu’s 19th-century origins) to bleeding-edge consumer and military cybernetic enhancements. Its robust, durable augmentations are as closely associated with THI's legitimate street-level operations as they are with the tiger-adorned Yakuza who share the corporation’s name.
WATTS-RÜCKER BIO, GMBH
Country of origin: Germany
Biome: Biolab (owner)
Motto: “Wagen Sie es sich vorzustellen”; “Dare to stand out.”
Chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, and now molecular bioengineering are all in Watts-Rücker Bio's wheelhouse. The company was born from the acquisition of Canada-based Watts NamPac Corp by Rücker Apotheke, the brainchild of the aristocratic Rücker clan. Today the pharmaceutical giant is focused on CRISPR-based gene splicing, developing artificial carriers of genetic information, and patenting the sequenced genomes of various organisms. Corporate lobbyists are pushing to deregulate the patenting of human genes.
INTERPORT
Country of origin: USSR
Biome: Warehouses
Boss: Iskra Trinity
Motto: “Вперед! За искрой инноваций!”
“Forward! For the spark of innovation!”
What began as a humble co-operative store in Moscow has grown into the world’s go-to place for online purchases. Their operations on US soil became huge warehouses, cheaply and shoddily built to resemble the brutalist soviet factories as part of its pedigree, but with no intention of lasting longer than a few years. Most recently Interport became the first company in the world to appoint an AI as its CEO. The Iskra AI is driving the corporation towards posthuman perfection. Regular workers cede their bodies to the company, becoming “biorobots”, while Iskra itself is rumored to be developing delusions of divinity.
Think fast,
shoot faster
Every randomized run will be different, but one thing never changes: you will be outnumbered. Get ready to think on your feet as you dash, jump, and use the environment to your advantage. You can't still, not even for a second.
kill in style
Equip your shell with powerful weapon loadouts. Try out various combinations as you blaze a path of destruction. Want to snipe your foes from a distance, debilitate them with status effects, or just go in guns blazing? Whatever your playstyle, you can find the right kit for the job.
Train your
brain, augment
your brawn
Your enemies have no shortage of bullets and bodies to throw at you. But you're no slouch either. Sure, you might lose a combat shell here and there, but your next one will be even tougher. Start each new run with amped-up skills and deadlier firepower!
