Choose Your Playstyle
Play as the greatest tactical operative and select your new cybernetic android body from three body templates. Choose to be either the soldier, ninja, or hacker depending on your playstyle.
Become an all-around combat champion, a fast and lethal fighter or a specialist in infiltration and subversion—the choice is yours! Each character comes equipped with their own weapon or ability that mirrors their tactical advantages, from the energy hammer, the katana, or a shock blast attack.
