The game progresses through distinct levels with increasing difficulty. Each level features different enemy types and terrain layouts that require tactical adaptation. Boss encounters appear throughout progression. The multiplayer design benefits from cooperation—more players increase offensive output and survival chances. Enemy placements and environmental hazards vary between levels, presenting different strategic challenges. Progression follows a stage-based structure, with clear level advancement tied to objective completion. The game emphasizes collaborative gameplay over individual achievement.
