Synthetik: Legion Rising
Release Date: March 16, 2018
Hybrid twin-stick shooter and roguelike production, in which we play the battle android. Our task at SYNTHETIK is to stop an army of robots controlled by sinister Artificial Intelligence. The title allows you to play alone or to cooperate on the Internet.
SYNTHETIK is a twin-stick shooter enriched with roguelike elements. The game described herein was developed by an independent studio called Flow Fire Games - a small team from Berlin comprising three people.
In SYNTHETIK, the plot plays a rather secondary role. The game takes players to an alternative version of the world in 1985, when the Artificial Intelligence created by Kaida Corporation decided to destroy humanity with the help of an army of robots. The players assume the role of an android tasked with eliminating the machines spreading across consecutive levels inside the corporate headquarters.
In SYNTHETIK the players observe the action from the top-down perspective. Before starting the game, players choose one of the eight available character classes, which differ in terms of the preferred weapons and gear. During the game one gets to travel across procedurally generated maps and face various opponents. They can be eliminated with the use over eighty types of weapons (individual types of weapons come in many variations and are also subject to different modifications that increase their combat potential) and more than a hundred items that expand the range the protagonist's both offensive and defensive capabilities.
What is worth noting, the weapons may overheat or block when being fired. Moreover, as befits a game representing this genre, SYNTHETIK features the permadeath mechanics as well as it allows players to shoot their enemies in the head or actively reload their weapons (the player is rewarded for the perfect reload).
SYNTHETIK features a single player and an online 2-player cooperative modes. In addition, there are several difficulty levels to choose from (the higher one you choose, the more valuable prizes will be available for you to acquire).
SYNTHETIK features simple but colourful visuals in a cartoon-like style.

Game Ratings for Synthetik: Ultimate Video Game.
Cubed3: 3 / 10 by Renan Fontes
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate is a wonderful roguelike that's been utterly ruined by its Switch port. What should be one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch is instead emblematic of everything wrong with the eShop. Frame rate dips, technical hiccups, and game breaking glitches tear down all the goodwill this game establishes. When there's no such thing as quality assurance, amazing games release in unplayable states. SYNTHETIK: Ultimate should be played, just not on Nintendo Switch.
Nintendojo: by Nick Dollar
Digging through the overwhelming amount of information of guns and items and skills can be daunting, but once you get through that Synthetik: Ultimate can be quite an enjoyable game to have. Particularly as a twin stick top down roguelike experience on the go thanks to the portability of Switch.
WayTooManyGames: 7.5 / 10 by Kyle Nicol
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate is a fun, fast-paced twin-stick shooter with a ton of gameplay variety that will keep you busy for hours. Even though the Switch version does fall behind the PC version with missing features and a few minor technical issues. It’s still a perfectly serviceable version I’d recommend if you want some chaotic single player fun.
