Set in an alternate future that has seen humanity become a militarised and fragmented race across the stars, a new threat has emerged in the form of an alien parasite known only as ‘‘The Shade’. Loaded with a distinct blend of action RPG mechanics, looter shooter gameplay, cooperative elements, and an isometric viewpoint, The Desolation is designed to deliver a sublime cross-play experience for mercenaries taking down “The Shade”.

With the game’s main antagonists being a species of synthetic alien parasites that require the remnants of humanity to band together in order to defeat it, team-based roles are vital in The Desolation. Multiple roles are available and can be enhanced through an ever-expanding arsenal of futuristic weaponry and combat abilities. From the mighty Tank to the adaptable Support, the classes and weapons players choose can be customized to suit their playstyle and the needs of the team. Once kitted out and ready for war, players will find themselves in the thick of the action across a multitude of carefully crafted environments. These range from the familiar yet futuristic take on what Earth will look like in 2140 as well as the expansive sands of Mars. Each procedurally generated world within The Desolation offers up an expansive array of opportunities to deploy, kill and extract alien invaders.

Combining the best of titles such as Diablo, Destiny, and Borderlands, The Desolation has been built from the ground up to provide an action-packed experience for both PC and mobile players without sacrificing quality or features. Mercenaries can fight for humanity without compromise, no matter what platform they choose to play on.
