Synchro Gameplay

The game is set in the cyberpunk sprawl of Solar-30, and it follows a resistance leader battling against a corrupt corporation conducting inhumane experiments on civilians.

Beyond the unique combat mechanics, there’s also a base management layer where players will build a rebel base, recruit and train heroes across ten different classes, and deal with enemies ranging from androids to mutated gangsters.
