Really nice little game. I dig the extraction shooter cyberpunk aesthetics and have enjoyed it in single player. Things to polish the game/sequel: -Incorporate a crouch mechanic (like the Ascent) so one can still shoot behind cover -Show ability cooldowns more prominently, like have the ability countdown icon transparent around the player -Ability to pause or slo-mo in single player -When changing camera (double right-click), keep the cursor facing forward, instead of staying where the cursor was -Zoom in to appreciate character model and gear (CTRL+mouse wheel) -Add reloading animation -Add doodads in map to make them more dynamic (doors on walls, etc) -Add some sort of hacking a door/safe/security guns network/etc. to incorporate more cyberpunk themes Fix some bugs: -Had an item just copy itself over when removing it from its implant slot. Had to restart to fix it It just needs more playtesting and this could go a long way. It's still a fun game to get when on sale To the dev: k...

About This Game

Welcome to 2045. The long struggle between people and corporations left the megacorps as overlords, ruling over the broken remnants of humanity huddled together in vast urban sprawls. But with no law or government beyond corporate boards, the underworld thrives. You are a Shell Runner using lifelike Shells to carry out wet work for anyone willing to pay.
Shell Runner is a top-down tactical shooter hybridized with looter shooter and extraction games. Every run can make you rich - but lose your Shell and you lose all that. Experience high-risk runs as a solo merc - or find allies and face the seedy underbelly of a dystopian future in cooperative mode.

Shells are remotely controlled bodies that blur the line between man and machine. Take control of one of over 20 Shells, from disposable everyman models for low-tier mercs to specialized high-tech Shells for corporate assassins and shock troops. But be careful: Lose a Shell on a mission and it's gone - together with all the gear, loot, and Silicon credits you managed to pilfer from other unfortunates living in the shadows of the corps.

Life's cheap and brutal in the sprawl. You're always outnumbered and outgunned and even a lowly thug can flatline your Shell in seconds if you don't play it smart. Plan ahead and outfit your Shell with an arsenal of melee weapons, firearms, and explosives. Fine-tune stats thanks to a multitude of modifiers. Then head in to complete your contract. Stay on your toes, plan your attack, and hit your targets where they least expect it.

No two runs are the same. Every mission is a procedurally-generated map, combining hand-crafted boss encounters with unpredictable randomness, ensuring no two runs are the same. Every Shell and item comes with random modifiers, meaning every contract is a risk - but also an opportunity. One job in the slums might leave you barely breaking even - the next one might make you break the bank. So get to work, Shell Runner, Silicon won’t earn itself!
