Defectant is a modular action-RPG where you can freely assemble your character— eye, leg, jetpack or even a cannon. Every part you attach comes with unique properties that shape how you fight, move, and survive. ALL parts from defeated enemies can be collected and used to upgrade yourself - you can literally "arm" yourself.
You're thrown into the Pit, a brutal region where beings like you—cobbled together from leftover parts—are forced to fight for sport. Losing a match won't kill you, but if you want to rise through the ranks, you'll need more than brute force. Train hard, sure—but smart fighters win before the fight begins. Scout your opponents. Exploit their weaknesses. Bribe them. Sabotage them. The on-stage fight is merely the final act; what you do off-stage are equally important to turn the tide of victory.
Beyond the fights, the Pit has a life of its own. You (and potentially your team) will need to earn your food for the stomach (or oil for your engine), the roof on your head (or your processor), whether through the post-insurance&taxation prize money, or other means. To survive and make sure you are at prime condition before fight is as important as the fight itself. Other gladiators face the same struggles just like you, so overtime they form factions, forge uneasy alliances, and pursue their own goals. Will you join them to gain favor, or walk your own path? Will you rise through the ranks to earn your freedom, build power within the Pit itself, or escape through other means entirely?
