It is about Nora Harwood, a security specialist of the Nova corporation.

As she combats their fighters, however, she finds hints of a much larger conspiracy and far more threatening conspiracy manipulating the Eclipse.

See ''VideoGame/DecayOfLogos'' for another late 2019 game from a small studio that attempted to emulate a prominent AAA series, with similarly mixed results.
!!Tropes present in this game:
* ActionGirl: Nora Harwood is a capable fighter who combats dozens of Eclipse troops and drones on her own.
* ArtificialStupidity: The enemies may fail to notice Nora even as she is already shooting at them (though they may just as well detect her through seemingly solid obstacles). They'll also often ignore cover and just try to close the distance while firing their weapons. Though, since they possess more HP than Nora and deal more damage, this actually works to their benefit more often than not. However, some objects may still throw off their aim to the extent they'll stand still and keep shooting at the object instead of moving slightly to reach Nora, all while she can easily target them from the same position.
* BeehiveBarrier: Both the default shields around the character that only become visible when they stop a projectile, and the explicit barriers you must generate have a strict honeycomb structure.
* CrateExpectations: There are plenty of crates around. Some of them can only be unlocked by hacking their security: in some cases, failing the hack will render them permanently locked.
* CyberCyclops: Both Nora's drone and those of the enemies are designed with a single glowing "eye" in the centre.
* DialogueTree: Nora Harwood converses with the other characters in this manner.
* HackingMinigame: These are mainly used to bypass the security systems on crates. One is about dodging falling blocks as another block for a certain period of time, and it can be retried if failed. The other is about connecting lines on a grid during a fixed period of time, and it locks the crate forever if failed.
* HardLight: One of the abilities is to generate a barrier of blue light that will deter the enemies' projectiles, though it only lasts for a brief period of time.
* HomingProjectile: The shots from the Zeus hoverbike's cannon will home in onto the enemies, but only if they are robots.
* HoverBike: There are regular sections where Nora rides a Zeus hoverbike. However, they suffer from a range of bugs, and will at times feature flying dropships attacking Nora with no way to return fire, and so are generally more difficult and frustrating than the standard gameplay.
* LighterAndSofter: The writing is much less serious than that of its primary inspirations.
* MegaCorp: Nova, which is large enough to maintain entire outposts on a distant planet, all on its own.
* ObviousBeta: The game's release was marred by a range of bugs, with hoverbike sections being especially badly affected.
* OffModel: There are issues with object clipping, including Nora's legs clipping through ''each other'' when she's crouching. The lip-syncing is also questionable.
* OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture: All of the gun models have a pure rectangular shape with a lot of glowing blue lights and with handles attached to them.
* RobotBuddy: Nora always has a floating spherical drone by her side.
* SprintMeter: Played straight, and it recharges rather slowly.
