For more than two decades, a brutal civil war raged between Coalition and Nationalist forces. With seemingly every strike, each side unleashed new, more advanced and more powerful weaponry. Even with the rapid-fire advances in technology, neither side could gain the advantage, and both eventually ran out of money, willpower and soldiers. Now a new and dangerous force has risen to fill the void left by the armies' collapse. Having swept across the East Coast, PSI has turned its eye for conquest to the Western territories. But the West isn't about to go down without a fight.
Damnation draws you into a gorgeously rendered steampunk environment inspired by the American Civil War. You'll wield retro-futuristic weaponry and vehicles to defend your territory against a malevolent industrial force. As the hero Rourke, perform amazing daredevil feats across massive, open environments that unfold both horizontally and vertically. Push yourself to the limit as you leap across chasms, swing on ropes and chains, scale massive buildings and engage in frantic gun fights with ruthless artificial intelligence foes who attack from any direction. Unleash the power of projectile, stationary and explosive steam-powered weapons, and take the fight vertical with incredible vehicles that include wall-climbing motorbikes.
