SYNTHETIK 2 casts players as part of a human resistance fighting the Machine Legion, with the option to take on that conflict alone or in cooperative play. Its top-down action is shaped by android classes that support different approaches, from tactical combat to faster or more brawling styles. That class variety gives each run room for experimentation rather than making the battle solely about aiming and firing.
Gun handling is a defining part of the design. Players manually reload, while weapons can jam or overheat, adding pressure to fights. Headshots, armor interactions and weapon attachments further distinguish its combat, and upgrades to classes, items and weapons let players adjust builds. The game also offers randomized weapon technologies and faction-specific weapon variants, giving its arsenal several layers of variation.
The listed play formats include single-player and online co-op, while the game description presents cooperative battles for up to four players. SYNTHETIK 2 also includes modding and content-creation tools, extending its design beyond its built-in classes and equipment.
