Shattered Skies is an open world looter shooter that pits users against alien monstrosities and other players in a no rules sandbox where people can choose to help others, or hunt them. After a comet crashed into the moon, its fragments rained upon a once peaceful valley surrounded by mountains and turned the world into chaos. Since that day a mysterious alien life form within the comet’s fragments began to thrive on Earth’s rich environment, changing the planet and bringing hellish monsters to the world. As one of the few remaining survivors, players will struggle to endure against an enemy unlike any humanity has faced before.
