As we already mentioned, the weapon in the game is very futuristic and dangerous.

The robot is the most impressive and useful weapon, so we are sure that you will want to try it in the game. It is interesting, that robots have an artificial intelligence, so it can be managed by itself. But any time you need its help - just use the control board and destroy your enemies with their weapon.

As always, you will be able to use a lot of different types of weapon or attachments. By default there are ten slots for various items, but during the game you will be able to expand the number of slots. After each level you are getting a score, and you can use it to add new slot, new weapon, new item or to improve some weapon or characteristic. Be careful, you have only one score, so it is important to find the right strategy of boosting your hero from the first level. If you want to play with real people, you will need good characteristics, so before starting the multiplayer mode, train your hero. You can play in multiplayer mode with bots until you get the tenth level, but then you will be getting only the half of the possible experience.
