As Rack, it’s players’ job to corrupt the world an increase Rack’s power. But the corruption will also transform the planets tranquil animals into feral demons, which you’ll have to battle to continue moving forward.
Of course, you’ll also do battle with the protectors of good, such s the Dragon Protector Amon. Aiding you are over 25 unique weapons and items like turrets, bombs that turn into black holes, tornados of fire, and more.
