The Journey to a New World 

The story of Outriders is set in a distant future, in which increasing atmospheric pollution had caused the planet Earth to become completely uninhabitable. Seeking a new place to live, the human race chose Enoch, a distant planet with conditions similar to those on Earth. Enoch Colonization Authority sent out two ships to colonize the planet, onboard which traveled the Outriders - a team of elite soldiers tasked with securing the landing zone and preparing for the arrival of the settlers. Despite their best efforts, the first attempt to colonize the planet had failed - the Outriders encountered the Anomaly - a powerful energy storm which killed all but one of them- and the alien fauna wiped out the colonizers, forcing a small group of survivors into hiding. 31 years later, the Outrider who survived the Anomaly wakes up from the stasis and forms a new team tasked with protecting the surviving settlers.

Pyromancer controls fire. Devastator levels the playing field with seismic attacks. Technomancer uses turrets and other devices to gain the upper hand over the enemy. Each class has its dedicated skill tree, elements of which can be unlocked with experience points.
