F2P Shooter Rules Of Engagement: The Grey State Takes Players Into The Horrorverse

"Tencent Games and developer Grey State Studio aren't sending players to Hell in their upcoming game, Rules of Engagement: The Grey State. But this free-to-play tactical-horror action-RPG shooter might be Hell-adjacent, thanks to a nightmarish realm filled with monsters and other unspeakable creatures. The Grey State is the name of an unstable dimension that's too dangerous for humanity, but it also contains alien artifacts that are invaluable."

"To survive in this hellscape, players assume the role of Striders who remotely pilot their bio-engineered shells from the comfort of their own dimension. Grey State Studios describes The Grey State as a "graveyard of nightmares" and a "Horrorverse" that includes Lovecraftian creatures, as well as monsters inspired by films, books, and even creepypasta online tales. The gameplay is a PvEvP loop that gives players only a limited time to drop into The Grey State."

"Striders will have to scavenge for gear inside the nightmarish dimension and ultimately choose between accepting an early extraction for limited rewards or taking a shot at even bigger profits if they can beat their fellow players to an alien artifact. Grey State Studios is planning an alpha test for Rules of Engagement that will feature four classes of Striders that players can pick. The fourth option is currently being hidden, but the other three are listed below."

Rules of Engagement: The Grey State is a free-to-play tactical-horror action-RPG shooter set in an unstable dimension called The Grey State, filled with Lovecraftian and media-inspired monsters. Players pilot remote bio-engineered Strider shells to scavenge alien artifacts, facing a timed PvEvP loop that forces decisions between early extraction for limited rewards or competing for larger payouts. The developer plans an alpha test with four Strider classes (Sledge, Pyro, Phantom, and a hidden fourth). Successful buildcrafting and strategy are rewarded. The studio intends long-term support with content updates, meta shakeups, and a cosmetics-only monetization model.
