Take on the role of The Rookie and embark on a journey across a mysterious alien world. Shoot, race, and platform across the planet’s hundreds of floating islands, populated with procedurally generated enemies and loot.

Rumored to be hidden on Planet Shadow by the peaceful but powerful natives, the Ato military invades and conquers in search of salvation. But if they do succeed… what will be the cost?
