The trailer does show you how to take down certain monsters with the help of tools you craft and a bit of quick thinking.

Scars Above is a challenging sci-fi third-person action adventure shooter combining the rewarding feel of overcoming difficulty with a compelling and intricate story, set in a mysterious alien world to explore.

We learn a bit about the game’s overall synopsis via what seems to be an in-game cutscene, which involves the main character being transported into an unfamiliar world after making contact with aliens.

The crafting system in Scars Above involves the player scanning the environment for plants and lifeforms, understanding their elements, and using that knowledge to your advantage. You’ll be able to unlock crafting recipes for weapons and components that you can use to freeze, burn, and slice enemies depending on what you craft. You’ll also need to learn how to take down different enemies and monsters, as they have their own weaknesses you’ll learn to exploit as you play the game.

Scars Above launches this February 28 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
