Solar Purge is a sci-fi isometric action RPG where you get to explore huge worlds and shoot at any enemy you come across. You can play as any of the four classes (Engineer, Juggernaut, Stryker, and Assassin) that suit your playstyle. The Stryker is perfect for those who want a complete offensive package, while the Engineer is more of a support class that can build friendly bots and tools to aid their allies. The Juggernaut has the defensive capabilities to keep enemies at bay, and the assassin is the perfect choice for those who want a speedy character that can kill enemies from the shadows.
Recently, the developers deployed Update 0.5 which introduces a new campaign level set in the Oterion Guardian Sanctum. You can find out more about the ancient history of Nova Genesis buried underneath the Ruined Sanctum. Be prepared for any threats because some entities do not like that you’re snooping around.
Aside from that, the brand new Vault system has also been added in Update 0.5. This system basically allows you to pull and equip weapons you have stashed in the Vault while you’re in specified safe zones, such as the Space Station and Holochamber Starting Zone. To add a weapon to the Vault, you must stand over it and press the “B” button on the keyboard or the D-pad if you’re using a controller. More safe zones will be added in the future as the developers see fit.
