Editorial overview
What it is
Survival Mode is Resogun turned up to 11 - you only have a single life to last as long as you can. However, a few things have changed to improve the odds in your favour.
The premise
Parachuting into the level frequently, humans can be immediately collected to power up weapons and give you the edge with perks like improved shield, Clock (turbo speed), overcharged weapons and much more. Add those to your boost, overdrive and guns and you’re a true force to be reckoned with.
In addition to this we have a couple of extra things to keep you pushing forward against the waves.
Fallen Heroes: These are holograms of your ship placed on a timeline representing your best performance to date. Do better and the Fallen Hero will activate – if collected, it will improve your shield and weapons to aid your survival. Monuments: Nothing pushes you like beating your friends! In Survival we place Monuments representing your friends (or global) scores around you. Beat the score to destroy the monument as you move up the leaderboards to glory. In Demolition you take the fight armed only with a wrecking ball powered by proximity bombs. No other weapons, boost or overdrive here. Be careful though, as the wrecking ball will fly off around the stage destroying everything it hits… including you!
