The game has changed greatly since the Next Fest Demo, so let's go over some of the highlights.
Apocalypse Scaling
We have overhauled how the rounds progress in this version. Instead of a having to kill a set number of enemies per round and a grace period in-between rounds, rounds will progress based on time regardless of how many are killed. We've referred to this internally as Apocalypse Mode.
New Enemies
We have new enemies to introduce!
Skeleton
The Skeleton is a more "tanky" and fast variant of the zombie.
Bat
This sneaky bat holds an explosive surprise as it flies. If the bat gets too close to the player, their dynamite stick will start to ignite until it explodes. Players must keep their distance from them and aim carefully.
Rat
The rat is much like the bat. However, the rat scurries across the floors. It is also faster than the bat.
New Maps
Shadowood Slimeworks
This powerful factory uses toxic ooze to power its machinery. Players can utilize traps to help wipe out the endless onslaught of enemies. Just be mindful of the "insta-kill" ooze ponds!
Krago Lab
Home-sweet-huh? Looks like your base of operations has been overrun! Navigate your way through hallways and doors, collect keycards, and unlock vaults with plenty of goodies inside! There are many fun rooms to explore in this mega munitions laboratory.
Wall Buys
Unique Spells and Items can be purchased within the map itself through wall buys! Each map has a set of spells and an item catered to the map, to keep each one feeling distinct!
The Shopkeeper
We'd like you to formally meet Dr. Bean! They're not much of a talker, but come with enough mana crystals and you'll quickly be speaking their language! With the apocalypse-style of rounds, the shop has been moved to this lil' guy. Instead of the shop showing up after each round, the player is tasked with tracking down the shopkeeper when they collect enough mana crystals. Be mindful, Dr. Bean doesn't sit still!
The Chronoporter
The Chronoporter is the best way to gain an edge on those pesky enemies! Collect enough Chronoshards, and see Professor Rory standing near the Chronoporter. Insert your gun and wait... Once your gun is down "chronowarping" you can collect it. You have the choice to level up all spells in your gun of a certain element. Your gun also gets an increased fire-rate and clip size.
New Spells and Items
Many new Spells and Items have been made since the last update. Krago hopes they will serve you well in your testing.
New Music Tracks
2 new tracks have been made since the last update from our legendary composer Captain Kray!
Achievements
We have achievements now! Good luck collecting them all!
