  • Intense combat –  Test your reflexes and multitasking abilities in Steel Seed’s challenging fast-paced combat action. Dodge enemy attacks and deliver punishing blows to clear the path. Call on KOBY’s special gadgets and actions to cover you in combat and neutralise threats.
  • Unique levels, unique challenges – Every level inside the facility is unique and offers many challenges for Zoe and KOBY to overcome. 
  • Mobility –  Use Zoe’s parkour skills to traverse the underground facility and gain a tactical advantage. From the artificial, robot-controlled depths to the open natural environment, danger lurks around every corner. 
  • A powerful guide – Take control of KOBY by entering Flight Mode. Scan the area to discover secret areas, detect enemy positions, and find new upgrades for Zoe. Or maybe… use him as bait.
