Game Overview
In Simulakros, you remotely control combat androids to infiltrate and dismantle a mega-corporation's facilities. The game's core loop is simple: pick a chassis, dive into procedurally assembled levels, and upgrade your loadout on the fly. I noticed that the three available characters—Sharpshooter, Barrage, and Rupture—each bring a distinct playstyle, encouraging you to experiment rather than stick to one build.
The combat is fluid and responsive. After a few runs, I found that the movement mechanics—dodging, sliding, and teleporting—are crucial for survival. The enemy AI is aggressive but fair, and the shifting level layouts keep each run fresh without feeling chaotic. If you enjoyed the fast movement of Returnal or the build variety of Risk of Rain 2, Simulakros will likely hit the spot.
