Blockader

Blockader is a fast-paced, challenging 2D roguelite arena survival shooter in which you must survive increasingly powerful waves of enemies between runs. Don't be hit too much or your run will be short. Luckily, it offers plenty of upgrading opportunities to enhance offensive and defensive skills. We’ll hold back any waves that come.

In Blockader, you must survive waves of adversaries while also growing stronger through upgrades.

The game places your characters in a ring, with waves of creatures approaching from all sides. Be aware of the powerful ranged sniper standing behind them as well! Colliding with these creatures or being shot by the sniper costs you a life, and running out of lives means the game ends.

Clear any attackers that dare to enter while evading impending assaults.

You don’t even have to aim and shoot at enemies, as your rifle automatically locks on to the nearest danger. Just go around the ring, avoid fire, and attack. Use your reflexes to beat down the hordes until there are none.

Upgrade wisely to ride the stronger waves ahead.

In Blockader, you can destroy waves and gather stars to enhance your cards. Select one upgrade to boost your character’s skills and powers, setting yourself up for the next wave of tightly packed adversaries. Don’t be in a rush; research each upgrade option and effect properly and decide which ones are the best for your gameplay style. More importantly, don’t see your upgrade choices as isolated decisions, but as part of a grander strategy.

Buy things that help round out your skill set.

Use the Stars you earn to buy Offensive, Defensive and Utility gear to boost your character’s powers even more! Each has its own effects, so choose those that suit your strategy and play style. Blockader also features a skill tree; use your stars to unlock your preferred skills and branches.

Key Features of Blockader

• Wave Combat: Fight your way through waves of enemies that grow more hazardous as you progress.
• Automated Attacks: Keep an eye on your soldier’s position and direction as he fires.
• Don't sweep hostile projectiles around the arena; dodge around enemies.
• Upgrades stack, so you may stack bonuses like Rush and Movement while running.
• In small stadiums, there's less space, so it's important to control and position the crowd.

Tip for Surviving More Waves

• Use the whole court: Don't stay on the side where the other team can trap you.
• Watch for missiles early, and modify your path before they hit you.
• Don’t Stand Still: Standing still means you’ll be surrounded by adversaries.
• Useful improvements: Stack: Some builds repeatedly improve to enhance.
• Faster Waves: Enemies will move faster, so give yourself more time to respond.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this character shoot automatically?
Uh huh. The weapon automatically aims at the closest enemy and fires, so you can concentrate on moving and dodging attacks.

How can I get power in the middle of a match?
Kill all enemies to complete a wave. Collect stars for each upgrade. Choose from these cards, or hit the Spacebar to re-roll your choices.

What do the collected stars do?
These are used to unlock branches of the Skill Tree for permanent power upgrades and to acquire equipment (attack, defence, and utility).

When do I lose health and lose the game?
You lose a life for killing an opponent or getting shot by sniper fire. You run out of lives, and the game ends abruptly.
