Independent game development studio Aberratic Studios is thrilled to announce that a playable demo for Symbiosis, its upcoming sci-fi cooperative hero-shooter, is officially live on Steam. Blending fast-paced exploration, tactical base-building, and high-stakes survival, Symbiosis delivers a unique hybrid and addictive experience! Watch the official demo trailer now.
Survive, Build, and Evolve Side-by-Side
Set in a shifting, procedurally generated alien world, Symbiosis tasks players – either solo or in close cooperation with a partner – with exploring uncharted biomes, establishing robust defensive bases, and evolving their characters to withstand massive, unrelenting waves of mechanical hybrids. Balancing the split-second precision of a hero-shooter with the macro-strategy of a tower defense game, success relies on resource management, clever base layouts, and harnessing devastating character-specific abilities.
The Lore: Reclaiming Lost Worlds
In the far future, the authoritarian Centralized Human Republic (C.H.R.) ordained that every independent colony relinquish total control to their central rule. This tyrannical decree sparked violent pockets of rebellion across the galaxy, filling the Republic’s deep-space penal colonies to maximum capacity.
To manage the endless tide of new inmates, the C.H.R. now offers the most gifted and dangerous prisoners a grim choice: serve out a lifetime sentence in an overcrowded, maximum-security facility, or work off their debt to society as expendable planetary scouts. Players step into the boots of these selected few, dropped onto hostile worlds to reclaim territory lost to catastrophic, abandoned experiments. They must adapt, build, and fight together – or die trying.
