WATCH YOUR STEP

Navigate and survive dangerous procedural regions in this gritty FPS. Set in a near-future Arctic ravaged by a devastating calamity. Arcticide is a challenging permadeath experience full of unpredictable environments and situations. Resources are scarce, so pick your battles, scavenge carefully, and watch your step. Weapons and equipment have limited durability, so be sure to repair them, replace them, or face the consequences.

STAY FROSTY

Random threats and opportunities abound in every run. Elite soldiers, snipers, aerial barrages, and toxic areas could mean certain death if mishandled. On the other hand, supply caches, printing stations, and helpful locals could tip the scales in your favor.


Finding databanks and surviving deep into runs will provide valuable intel to help you progress. The horizontal meta-progression system allows for unlocking new starting loadouts, potential loot, and crafting recipes. These provide fresh tactical options and tools to play with rather than make the game explicitly easier - to improve your chances of survival, there is no substitute for learning and refining your tactics.

Completed runs also give deeper insight into the events that led to the calamity, and provide clues as to where to search next. Each destination offers unique events, biomes, and enemies.
