Blockader is a 2D roguelite arena-shooter where players are dropped onto a lunar battlefield to wipe out waves of enemies and build power through an upgrade system.
Blockader - A Lunar Battlefield Roguelite Survival Action Game
Blockader is a colorful moon-set 2D arena shooter in a circular arena in the style of a roguelike. Swarms of small creatures are constantly moving in from all angles, creating waves of attacks intensifying with every second. Players select their favorite mouse character, constantly move, and try to survive each wave. Weapons automatically lock onto the nearest threat, so there is no need to manually aim or fire.
Blockader Gameplay: Surviving the Attack
Characters are in a circular arena and enemies come from all directions and close in. Direct contact with enemies means death. Blockader doesn’t only add melee creatures into the mix, but Snipers as well. These snipers are outside the ring, always applying pressure with their shots, and making the players have to watch both the inside and outside of the arena.
Automatic weapons fire
The combat system is more streamlined with the auto-fire mechanic. Guns automatically target the nearest enemy, letting players concentrate on finding safe spots and maintaining their distance. As enemy numbers swell, movement then becomes the key to victory.
Building Power with Upgrade Cards
Players defeat enough enemies and complete a wave, then they get to choose from a selection of upgrade cards before the next, more difficult round. Upgrades can give you extra ammo, chain lightning, poison, dragon allies, arrows and other effects. Upgrade cards are available in 4 rarity tiers and there are over 100 of them to enable diverse character builds on each run. Think of these upgrades as part of a holistic strategy.
Gear and skill trees
Stars collected through runs can be spent on unlocking permanent power ups in three different classes of Gear; Offense, Defense, and Utility. Each category is a different progression path. Every character, except Gear, has their own Skill Tree where players can use Stars to unlock skills and branches that fit their playstyle.
