When an Omega-level containment breach puts an off-the-books company black-site on lockdown, it’s up to a small team of expendable peons to get to the bottom of it. Step into the shoes of Agents Red, Boy Scout, Beaker, and Scalpel, as they fight to unearth the buried secrets of Section 13... and solve a few personal mysteries of their own. Collect data on paranormal entities running amok and find out what it all has to do with you...

If you're intending to play this game in solo mode you're going to get more than you bargained for

Section 13 is a roguelite twin-stick shooter that can be played solo or in a group of up to 3 players in online or couch co-op modes. As an Agent of the S2P Corporation, it’s up to you to investigate a crisis at the most top-secret facility of a company whose whole thing is keeping secrets.

If you're intending to play this game in solo mode you're going to get more than you bargained for. In fact, I'd go as far as to state that the game is pretty much unplayable as a single player. The solo campaign doesn't allow for the fact that you don't have a team running through the game with you. So the enemy attacks you in exactly the same numbers and with the same veracity as though you were playing in a team. This makes ploughing through the onslaught a frustratingly difficult challenge.

Add to this the fact that your character is fairly small on the screen, and you have a further headache: aiming accurately at the rampaging beasts is just too fiddly.

That said, if you're playing in a team the game can be a lot of fun. It's still challenging, but as you move ever forward in your quest there is a real sense of achievement.
