What do you do when you’re the last thing that stands between the extinction of the human race?

That’s the situation players are faced with in Outpost: Infinity Siege, an upcoming PC game which can now be wishlisted on Steam ahead of its release later this year.

Human civilisation is in ruins thanks to the orbital Signet system. All that remains is a small number of outposts equipped with forcefields that can block the Signet’s watchful eye.

There’s just one problem (well, other than the monsters). The outpost doesn’t have the resources or reinforcement needed to keep your enemy at bay forever, so at some point you’re going to have to get boots on the ground – yours.

By heading off deep into the Signet surveillance off-limit area, where unseen dangers lurk around every corner, you can scavenge for resources which can be used to help you and your outpost in your struggle.

Outpost: Infinity Siege is a hybrid game that merges together a number of genres. When you’re out on the battlefield taking on the enemy the game feels most like a first-person shooter, as you gun down countless creatures in search of materials.

In true science fiction FPS fashion, you can customise your armour and weapon parts, and combine various buffs to give your weapon unique looks and different effects.
