Blockader

Blockader is a colorful lunar roguelite shooter where you fight endless enemy waves, build crazy weapon combos, and upgrade your rodent between runs.

SURVIVE THE LUNAR WAVES

Blockader drops you onto a small ring-shaped battlefield where enemies can come from almost anywhere. Your weapons handle the shooting automatically, so your main job is to move, dodge, survive, and make smart upgrade choices between waves. Move around the arena while your character attacks nearby enemies, then keep surviving until the wave meter is filled. Once the wave is cleared, you get a selection of random upgrade cards. Pick one and get ready for the next wave, because the enemies become more dangerous as you progress. If enemies are getting too close, a defensive or area damage upgrade may be more useful than simply adding another source of damage. Different danger levels introduce new threats, including ranged Snipers that can pressure you from a distance. Stars can be used for Gear upgrades in Offense, Defense, and Utility, while each character has a Skill Tree that provides additional improvements.
