Overview

Backfire is a high-octane action game that throws players into the heart of a chaotic orbital station under attack. Designed for both solo adventurers and cooperative duos, this title promises a relentless barrage of combat across multiple environments. Set in a grim near future where corporations reign supreme and crime is rampant, the game offers a stark contrast between gritty street-level corruption and the supposed sanctuary of an international orbital station.
