▍About 404 Game Reset
404 Game Reset is a “Shooter-like” mobile gacha game where players take back the world from the clutches of the mega-corporation SEGA, which has since dominated the entire world from its infrastructure to entertainment. Here you’ll be freeing the game franchises under SEGA from its clutches, and begin to take the world back bit by bit, restoring it to its original form.
As you play the game you’ll meet several characters from multiple video game franchises brought to life, including those from Sega’s own line of games hoping to liberate the world from its creators, including Afterburner, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, Outrun, and many more.
The game is a 3rd person shooter reminiscnet of early bullet-hell games with you controlling a character to move around the screen as they automatically fire at enemies. As you control one character you can also bring 4 support characters along with you that have their own weapon types and special abilities that can heal, buff, or deal damage to bosses while keeping the screen frozen.
