Around them, machines have reached consciusness and surpassed human intelligence tenfold. No reasons to be servants now – robots are clearly the superior lifeform. And to make their point, they start eradicating all human life... Housemarque, the creators of Resogun, and Eugene Jarvis invite you on a trip back to the age of arcades and play Nex Machina, the twinstick shooter of this generation. Destroy the evil robots, free the humans and defeat your friends' high scores along with their dreams of success. Do you have what it takes to make it to the top? - Explosive twin-stick arcade shooter gaming at its finest - Over 100+ challenging levels in 6 different intense worlds - Secret paths, levels and humans - Local cooperative multiplayer - Deep scoring system, rich metagame and replayability - Specially tailored feats and achievements - Community and friend leaderboards - Unlockables and player profiles - Next gen signed distance field (SDF) ray-tracing and morphing tech - Voxel driven, significantly reworked version of the Housemarque engine
