Why it matters

The two-year early access plan lists the content the launch build lacks, so buyers are paying now for a rat-swarm shooter whose maps, classes, and progression are still being built.

Players survive wave attacks solo or in co-op with up to four, feeding enemy corpses to rats that grow into a larger swarm. The early access build is on Steam at 2,800 yen with 10 percent off until November 6.

The early access build ships with one playable class, Survivor, and more than 12 World War II weapons, among them the Kar98, M1 Garand, PPSh-41, and M1911. Co-op runs online or over LAN for one to four players.

Defeated enemies become food for the rats, and the growing swarm ties into a gauge for a corpse-exploding ability. Tickets earned in minigames such as basketball buy upgrades at an arcade called Traang. The game uses Unreal Engine 5, with its own dismemberment and blood work and procedural IK animation, plus a Kill in Order wave rule and a global leaderboard.
