Our take on DEFECTIVE

The game replaces the usual human-soldier viewpoint with a defective robot that is reprogrammed to oppose alien robotic rulers. Time deceleration and jet jumping also sit alongside its first-person shooting rather than leaving movement and combat conventional.

What is DEFECTIVE?

DEFECTIVE is a first-person shooter with action elements set in 2068, after alien robotic creatures have captured Earth and destroyed its known life.

The remaining people live underground, while some wealthy survivors occupy space stations. A failed peacekeeper operation recovers a defective robot, which is reprogrammed over several years. The game follows the robot’s role in an attempt to liberate Earth from the invaders. Its listed abilities include slowing time, using an inventory, and jet jumping. The story also asks why the events happened.
