Extraction shooters have become a really popular genre for developers, and Codex Interactive is adding its debut game to the mix with Omen. The game was revealed to be dropping on August 11th, and some nice details have been revealed about the game, alongside a new trailer. For example, while it is an extraction shooter, there are multiple elements in play here that you’ll have to master if you want to survive and make it to the next part of the story. Want to hear more? Here’s the game’s breakdown and its trailer:

“Humanity has been reduced to a post-apocalyptic expanse of broken space stations and nomadic ships. Take on the role of an Astral, an immortal starship pilot whose job is to investigate The Veil, a cosmic anomaly hailed by an army of cultists set on inciting a total war to claim power. Amidst this macabre backdrop, Omen challenges players to root out the forces of the Veil, raid their bases, defend against retaliatory infiltration, and ally with the resistance to recenter the remaining threads of humanity.

Omen combines base defense combat, ship customization, item crafting, and extraction looter elements for a cross-genre gameplay experience. At the start of the game, you come across the remains of a derelict monastery suitable enough to use as your base. With the Monastery as your hub, interact with local NPCs to claim missions, customize your ship, and build new weapons for your future raids. It is a prime target for the forces of the Veil, so it’s essential to build out its defenses to survive the brutal waves of enemy onslaught.”

The sprawling epic has much to offer, and these gameplay features make it clear that it won’t be as simple as “get in and get out.” You’ll have to work for it:

• Base Defense Gameplay: Hordes of pirates, a legion of traitors, and an armada of cultists want you dead. Craft a variety of defensive structures and expand your base to withstand retaliatory enemy raids.
• Extraction Shooter: Select a mission to complete allies’ objectives and extract valuable resources; if the enemy response fleet arrives, quickly stage your exit or be prepared to face powerful capital ships.
• Four Act Saga: Uncover the truth behind The Veil across four distinct story arcs against a cosmic backdrop of Lovecraftian-styled myth. Each Act features a unique enemy faction and culminates in an epic boss battle.
• Over 80 Items and Upgrades: Collect loot from enemy bases, select from a variety of ship hulls, and build a combination of over 80 weapons, defensive structures, abilities, and utility items. There are hundreds of different possible loadouts, each with unique strengths and drawbacks.
