Online co-op third-person shooter where teams execute corporate extermination contracts, using weaponized power tools and experimental gadgets to clear alien pest infestations. Communication-heavy teamwork coordinates equipment loadouts and pest control tactics during timed contract runs.
About this game
Exterminauts casts players as blue-collar exterminators caught between rival MegaCorp energy interests and an alien species addicted to Polymorphic Plasma. Contracts send co-op squads into infested zones where pest control meets mad-science improvisation. The premise blends working-class absurdity with sci-fi resource battles, turning routine extermination jobs into chaotic firefights.

The third-person action centers on weaponized hardware store arsenals and jury-rigged gadgets designed for maximum extermination efficiency. Teams coordinate loadouts to handle swarms, environmental hazards, and the unpredictable behavior of plasma-hungry aliens.

Contract structure ties progression to completed jobs and corporate payouts. Cross-platform multiplayer support lets squads form regardless of hardware. Session pacing balances quick extermination runs with longer objectives, offering replay value through varied contract types and escalating alien resistance. The mix of blue-collar humor and cooperative intensity appeals to teams seeking structured PvE challenges with a darkly comic edge.
