Developed by Hologryph and TowerHaus, and published by tinyBuild, this PvPvE extraction shooter sends crews across a dune world on towering walkers, raiding ruins and rival players, then banking loot before storms and ambushes flip the plan.

Review
Every run plays like a heist. You prep the walker, chart a route, and decide how much risk the stash can take. Elevation matters, so sightlines and approach angles are puzzles before bullets even fly. Classes, modules, and roles let squads specialize, and time‑to‑kill favors control over spray. When the pieces click, you get clean decisions: press deeper for a rare crate or cut losses and bank the haul.
The economy will be the stress point. If upgrade ladders or extraction camping get out of hand, frustration spikes. Performance is another watch item once big servers fill with walkers and weather effects. With fair tuning and stable netcode, this stands out among extraction shooters by making traversal and mobile bases the centerpiece rather than a backdrop.
Verdict: A fresh spin on extraction with memorable walker play, provided balance and servers keep up.
