Gameplay

Matches pit two teams of customizable cyborg soldiers built from thousands of possible loadout combinations. Each character leans into one of several roles, offense-focused Assault, stealth-focused Infiltrator, or support-focused Specialist, using thermoptic camouflage, powered armor, recon drones and deployable turrets. The game runs both competitive PvP and cooperative PvE modes.

Premise

The shooter keeps the Stand Alone Complex setting and tone as a backdrop rather than telling its own story, dropping Section 9 style operatives and rival factions into combat maps drawn from the anime's world.

Reception

Nexon launched First Assault on Steam Early Access in December 2015, moved it to open beta in mid-2016 and fully released it in July 2017. Reviewers called it a competent but generic shooter that leaned on its license more than its mechanics. Nexon shut the game down in December 2017, citing poor profitability shortly after a major content update.
