Hello Everyone,
We finally have some news about the new game mode that we've been teasing for some time. It is an endless survival mode in which your goal is to withstand human attacks for as long as possible. Enemy waves will attack you from random directions and with randomly selected units. You start the game with only basic upgrades. After defeating each enemy wave, you are presented with three possible upgrade options to choose from. You will be able to choose if you wish to pick additional fighter weapons, new towers or technology upgrades.
This effectively means that every playthrough is going to present new challenges. You will also have to adapt your strategy on the fly because setup time between enemy waves is limited. If you feel confident enough, then you will be able to skip the setup timer altogether for an extra score bonus. We expect some fierce leaderboard competition :)
We are planning to release an open beta on Steam, that will include this new game mode, sometime within the next two weeks. We can't wait to hear your feedback about the new game mode :) We already did a bit of testing on our side, and we have conflicting opinions about some aspects of this game mode. Should play sessions be longer or shorter? How should the end game look like? Should we add any extra power-ups?
The deadline for a public release of the new game mode is at the end of March, so there will be plenty of time for iterations. The new content is also going to be available on the PS4 and Xbox One, but the open beta period will be Steam only. As for today, you can check out a bit of work in progress gameplay footage recorded from the today's build:
