Gameplay

Returnal sees players take on the role of Selene, a space pilot, who is stranded on an alien planet with an unfortunate time loop.

Each time Selene dies, she is resurrected, but the world around her has changed and the extra-terrestrials of the planet become increasingly hostile.

Returnal is a roguelike bullet-hell shooter, that brings the intense action of a top-down arcade shooter into a 3D space. The game has been designed to offer extreme replayability, and you’ll need to master all your abilities and overcome the enemies you encounter if you wish to break the cycle.

The game will see you fighting for survival in a shape-shifting world against countless odds. Each cycle (when you rebirth after dying) will see the planet change, along with the items you’ll discover. Expect a stern challenge, then, and a fresh experience with every journey.

Fans of third-person horror shooters like Dead Space will surely enjoy playing Returnal!
