• Quick play and server browser matchmaking (using steam matchmaking)
  
• 2 game modes, the standard mission mode and an endless difficulty climber version
  
• 2 map biomes, each with their own procedural generation of areas
  
• Over 65 gear loadout customizations to equip, including 6 sub-classes
  
• Character color customizations
  
• Over 90 in-mission upgrades, most for you, some for your enemies
  
• Multiple out-of-mission keep upgrades to improve your runs
