About
Set on the scarred alien world of Tian, Exterminauts invites players to become an Exterminaut: a hardened interstellar professional uniquely equipped to exterminate threats, repair critical infrastructure, and respond to crises wherever the job takes them. Players will venture into hostile industrial environments on an alien planet where nature, machinery, and alien life collide, using specialized power tools and teamwork to overcome unpredictable threats in a colorful science-fiction world filled with danger, chaos, and unexpected challenges.
In Exterminauts, players will deploy from their orbiting depot into hazardous worksites, complete high-pressure objectives (and some odd jobs if they have time), and extract before alien encounters spiral out of control. Each successful work order provides resources to improve equipment, upgrade tools, and prepare for increasingly challenging deployments against a diverse range of extraterrestrial threats. With every contract bringing new obstacles and opportunities, players must adapt, collaborate, and push their skills to survive the next dirty job assigned to them.
Key Features
- Blue-Collar Crew – Step into the role of an Exterminaut, a blue-collar galactic pest controller who combines the skills of an exterminator, repairman, and first responder. Players will take on dangerous missions across hostile worksites where teamwork, improvisation and grit are essential to getting the job done.
- Weaponized Power Tools – Experience a differentiated combat system centered around special firearms inspired by blue-collar tools, including the Ice Gun, Electric Gun, Anti-Gravity Gun and Foam Gun. Players can also use flexible combat actions such as sliding, shooting while sliding, zipline traversal, and rolling, while unleashing powerful Overclock abilities.
- Hostile Alien Ecosystem – Explore a colorful alien science-fiction world where nature, machinery and monsters collide. Players will encounter diverse alien creatures with unique abilities, mechanics, and weaknesses across environments that blend extraterrestrial elements, including plants, mushrooms, and celestial surroundings, with industrial landscapes and architecture.
