You control a lone survivor facing waves of monsters in timed stages. The goal is to stay alive as the crowds grow, moving through enemies and hazards while your character attacks automatically.
Collect experience to level up and choose weapons or passive items for your current run. Combine and upgrade your selections to create builds with different effects, while gathering pickups and opening chests along the way.
Runs also earn gold and unlocks. Spend gold on persistent character upgrades, and unlock more survivors, stages, weapons, items, and modes as you progress. Local co-op supports up to four players.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the straightforward controls and the way a run escalates from evading small groups to unleashing powerful weapon combinations. They often praise the steady stream of unlocks and build choices, which gives them reasons to try more runs. Some find the loop or unlock grind repetitive, and a few note that crowded late-game effects can obscure the action.
