Fuse is a third-person, four-player cooperative, shooter developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360. Each character has their own powerful and unique Fuse-powered weapon, such as a mag shield that can absorb bullets, and an upgradeable skill tree.
Set in the near future, the game follows a team of four misfit agents collectively known as Overstrike 9. Their mission is to stop the evil Raven Corporation from gaining an alien substance called Fuse.

Story
You are a member of Overstrike 9, a group of mercenaries that are usually called in to do work in the shadows. Your current job is to investigate the happenings at Hyperion Base, one of the government's covert bases that has gone dark. When the team gets there, they find the place has been ransacked and stumble upon an alien substance called Fuse. They are not alone, however, as a terrorist organization called Raven is also after the substance, which they end up stealing. It is up to Overstrike 9 to track them down and stop them.
Gameplay
Fuse is a third-person shooter with cover mechanics, that can be played alone, with up to 3 other people online, or with one other player splitscreen. The rest of the characters are controlled by A.I.
Skills
Skills in Fuse are divided into two categories, individual character skills and Team Perks. The individual character skills are unlocked and can be gotten as you level up that character, while Team Perks are bought with Fuse Credits.
Echelon Mode
Echelon Mode is a mode where players will have to survive through 12 waves of increasingly difficult enemies, as well as trying to outscore their allies. All objectives in this mode are randomized, although round 6 and round 12 will always have a mini-boss and boss, respectively.
