In the steampunk world of Vaporia, inventor Master Vules Jerne’s discovery of parallel universes is interrupted when a black shadow emerges through a dimension crack and steals the Goggles. Cracks spread across the mechanized city, leaving Jerne and three allies to recover the lost devices and stop the shadows. The premise gives the action a clear purpose: each mission pushes the crew toward reclaiming the Goggles.
Goggles is an online co-op arena shooter for up to four players, with four playable characters: Quentin, Frank, Tesla and Jerne. Each brings a distinct set of weapons, a vehicle and special abilities. The central task is to close shadow rifts guarded by possessed automatons. As rifts are sealed, more of each district opens for exploration, turning the arena fights into a progression through a larger area rather than isolated encounters.
Districts add choices under a timer: once their areas are open, players can tackle remaining rifts or take on the end boss to recover the Goggles. Randomly triggered events include collection, convoy and hunt missions; completing them grants bonus time and items for the main fight. Rift and event locations are generated randomly, so layouts vary between playthroughs.
