Project ETHOS is a debut free-to-play, 3rd-person roguelike hero shooter. Players select a hero and drop into matches, immediately engaging with a system of Evolutions. These powerful, semi-randomized upgrades are unique to each hero, allowing players to dramatically shape their playstyle mid-match, from transforming a sniper into a close-range skirmisher or a support role into a lone wolf. This real-time hero building defines the moment-to-moment gameplay.
The core gameplay loop centers around the signature extraction mode, Trials. Here, players enter persistent fights to collect cores, extract, and unlock powerful Augments that enhance subsequent Trials runs. Every match introduces new abilities, stakes, and challenges, fostering mastery across runs. Players face timed decisions: safely extract with collected cores or risk more for top rankings. Project ETHOS is a strategic extraction shooter where every run offers evolving hero customization and high-stakes choices.
