How the game works
SummaryWhen you load in, you receive some starting cash. Spend it to summon units and drop them on the map — they attack enemies on their own from that point. Each wave you survive adds more cash, letting you summon stronger units as the run goes on.
- Cash the currency you spend to summon and upgrade units
- Units the characters you place on the map that fight automatically
- Waves each incoming wave brings more enemies and more cash on completion
- Co-op difficulty scales up when friends join, but so do the rewards
- Codes redeem codes in-game for bonus cash
Placing and managing your units
StepGood placement along the enemies' path matters from the first wave. As the run gets harder, you will need to adjust rather than just add more units.
- Upgrade it press E on a placed unit to boost its attack power and range
- Remove and reposition press X to delete a unit if you need cash back or want to change your layout
Difficulty modes and what they unlock
TipsThe game has five named difficulty levels. Extreme is the hardest and is noted as the best mode for earning cash. A separate New Mode exists and features Boss Noob 3.0 and the Infected Guest Mech boss. There is also an Endless survival mode.
- Extreme Mode is the toughest and the best for earning cash
- New Mode introduces the Infected Guest Mech and Boss Noob 3.0 as boss enemies
