The last line above Earth

Earth below.
The enemy at the airlock.

Fort Resolute is under attack. Defend the orbital station in four-player co-op, or step into the boots of Caleb Rourke and fight alongside Mercer and Serrano in solo play.

The next wave brings another boarding point and another hard choice. Hold your position, recover ammunition, restore power, or reach a downed squadmate before the station gives way.

An original game in development at New Technology Research.

Inside the prototype

Survival is a squad effort.

01

Make every round count

Fight with human firearms and recovered alien weapons. Carry two guns, pair compact weapons, and choose when to spend your last magazine.

02

Four players. One squad.

Team up in four-player co-op, coordinate your defense, and revive fallen allies. Playing solo? Lead Mercer and Serrano with Follow, Hold, and Focus commands.

03

Hold against the next breach

Defend six connected rooms as aliens board the station. Reroute power, protect Control Integrity, and reseal breaches between waves.

04

Push your armor further

Slide, mantle, and boost through the fight. Spend finite BIO and ALLOY feedstock to repair health and armor, or save it for the next wave.

Fort Resolute Survival

A moment to regroup.
Then the next wave.

Limited stock makes the time between attacks matter as much as the fight itself.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Visit the Armory, collect finite ammunition and supplies, and position your squad.

  2. 02

    Hold

    Repel a boarding wave, protect the station, and adapt to the breach.

  3. 03

    Recover

    Revive allies, reseal the entry point, repair your armor, and reach the next wave checkpoint.
