There are plenty of diverse locations to visit, such as gloomy wastelands, dark swamps and mysterious structures seemingly constructed by an ancient civilization. During our quest we're hindered by various monsters. We can eliminate enemies with a wide arsenal of futuristic weapons and gadgets. Throughout the game we also gather resources used to craft new equipment or upgrade it.

Technical aspects
