00:00Being trapped on a deserted lunar base is bad enough, let alone when you're being hunted
00:04by hostile robots.
00:06To reach rescue, Pragmata's unlikely tag team of Spacefarer Hugh and android Diana will
00:11have to scrap hordes of machines sent after them by rogue AI Edus.
00:16Edus is nothing if not creative, printing robots of all shapes and sizes to take you
00:20down.
00:21One of the most common is the aptly named Walker, an unsettling humanoid bot.
00:25Seemingly not content with their original purpose of filling gaps in human labour, walkers
00:30have set about totally eradicating their fleshy counterparts.
00:34A few swift shots to the legs with Hugh's grip gun will introduce them to the floor, or
00:38you can group them together and send them reeling with a riot blaster.
00:42The synthetic nasties stalking the cradle aren't all restricted to two legs.
00:46Fair warning, arachnophobes may want to look away now.
00:49Putting Hugh's evasion skills to the test are the spiders.
00:52Fast moving and highly aggressive spherical enemies propped up on four spin B limbs.
00:58Alone a spider is a nuisance, but in the heat of hectic battle they can quickly get the
01:03jump on you if you're not careful.
01:05Distract them with a well placed decoy generator shot, then dispatch them with a powerful attack
01:09unit.
01:10Some of Edus' minions like the Watchers are more focused on surveillance, keeping tabs
01:15on Hugh and Diana as they hack and blast their way across the base.
01:18While the pair are busy fending off ground forces, Watchers will swarm and target them
01:22with their mounted railguns.
01:25Watchers are often joined by their missile-toting big brothers, whose projectiles Diana can hack
01:29and turn against them.
01:31Targeting flying enemies with single-shot weapons may prove tricky.
01:34You'll want to find ways to immobilize them or make use of the shockwave gun spread.
01:39Ousting a pesky human and his android companion sometimes calls for drastic measures, leading
01:44Edus to send in heavy units to get the job done.
01:48One of the first you'll encounter is the Sector Guard, a hulking bipedal tank that will boost
01:53towards you and rain down missile fire.
01:55Harness Hugh's mobility and dodge before you're flattened, then strike its vulnerable side before
02:00it turns around.
02:01You'll also find yourself hunted by the Executor, a deceptively quick bot that upsettingly resembles
02:07a giant baby.
02:09Like the Sector Guard you'll want to exploit its short vulnerability window as much as possible.
02:13First, you'll need to clear the Executor's signal jammers so Diana can hack it, then switch
02:18out to a hard-hitting weapon like the Charge Piercer for maximum punishment.
02:23You'll get to face off with these enemies and many more when Pragmata releases on consoles
02:27and PC on April 17th.
02:29Until then, you can check out the Sketchbook demo, which is live now across all platforms.
