It has elements of RPGs too, with players being able to build characters and classes to suit their playstyle. If you don’t have any friends to play with, you can still run around solo and the game won’t drastically change.
Four playable classes: Devastator, Pyromancer, Technomancer, Trickster
Players can choose one of the four classes when they start a new character. Each class has a different set of skills, starting with one, and leveling up more along the way. A maximum of three can be equipped at one time, however.
