The sky is broken. You woke up in the wreck of a fallen star with no memory, and a strange little machine called ECHO is the only one who knows why. Rustbloom is a big single-player open-world adventure: explore it on foot, by glider or in your own mech, fight Blight monsters and Dominion soldiers, and uncover what really happened to Veyra. A WORLD TO EXPLORE • Seven regions: rust forests, glass deserts, a stormy coast, a swamp, frozen mountains, volcanic slopes and the shattered crater at the heart of it all • Fourteen towns full of people: shopkeepers, gossips, riddles, buskers, fortune tellers, arm-wrestlers and dozens of side quests • Explorable ruins and giant landmarks with one-of-a-kind treasures, plus caves, mines, shrines and hidden caches • Day and night, weather, and a narrated story that slowly comes together SEVEN DUNGEONS • Huge dungeons with branching tunnels, locked doors, keys and a boss at the end • Each one gives you a new ability (Grapple Hook, Power Gauntlet, Frost, Fire, Siege Seal, Tide Bell and Rift Step) that you need to solve its puzzles, and old abilities keep coming back YOUR MECH • One mech, seven modes: walk as a war-walker, race as a car, fly as a jet, and more • Upgrade each mode with its own parts FIGHT, CRAFT, GROW • Sword combat with dodges, parries and special moves, a Pulse Caster with fire and frost, and bombs • A skill tree, gear and charms to find, food to cook, and towns with their own specialties Plays fully offline.
