Welcome to the Arcology, a self-sufficient metropolis soaring high into the sky and inhabited by countless creatures from across the galaxy, run by the megacorporation Ascent Group . The Ascent Group is the largest corporation on the planet, controlling everything and everyone as its puppets – always for the best and for the good of all, of course. But what happens when such a megacorporation suddenly collapses for unknown reasons?

Transform yourself into an ordinary worker - a slave, who, like everyone else in his neighborhood, is nothing more than a expendable asset of the corporation. The only purpose of your existence is to complete every menial task that your superiors give you. One day, you are sent on a routine mission to apply your hacking skills, when suddenly you find yourself in a whirlwind of catastrophic events...

When the Ascent Group unexpectedly collapses for unknown reasons, all automated security systems are shut down, and your entire neighborhood is suddenly at risk. Rival corporations sense an opportunity to take over the neighborhood, while crime syndicates relish the idea of extracting as many augmentations from people as possible to sell on the black market. You must take up arms to prevent them from taking over the neighborhood, while trying to figure out what caused all the chaos.
Explore the world of Veles alone or with up to three friends and discover what happened to the Ascent Group. As you rise through the arcology, you will encounter the most formidable enemies and unexpected allies. Customize your character's appearance, skills, and abilities to suit your playstyle. Your power will grow as you acquire an ever-increasing arsenal of weapons and powerful gear.
