Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
Who will enjoy it
