Fallback is a single-player 2.5D action platformer set in an underground city, where humanity's robot caretakers have become its jailers. You choose from six classes, explore randomly generated rooms, fight robots and bosses, and search for captive rebel leaders. Across repeated runs toward the surface, you improve equipment and unlock skills that carry over after death.
