❤ Base Building and Expansion

Players carefully construct walls, towers, and other defensive structures to create an effective fortification against the enemy hordes. Expanding the territory and securing key resources like stone and iron is critical to progressing, as the game allows players to build outposts in addition to the main base.

❤ Day/Night Cycle

During the day, players freely explore the map, gather resources, and build new structures. However, when night falls, players must focus on defending their base against large-scale enemy attacks, creating an engaging rhythm of preparation and defense.

❤ Hero Units

Powerful hero characters can level up and be customized, providing unique abilities and bonuses to aid the player's forces. Micromanaging and effectively utilizing these heroes is a key aspect, as they can turn the tide of battles when used strategically.

❤ Enemy Variety and Swarm Mechanics

The game features a wide variety of enemy types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The 'SwarmTech' system allows for the rendering of over 70,000 enemy units on the screen at once, creating massive, chaotic battles that test the player's ability to manage and counter the different enemy types.

❤ Randomization and Replayability

The game utilizes randomized elements, such as procedurally generated maps and the 'Malices' and 'Blessings' that can affect the player's forces during each 'Death Night.' This randomization, combined with the different hero and faction choices, contributes to the game's high replayability and encourages players to adapt their strategies to each unique scenario.

❤ Micromanagement and Multitasking

The game's combat and base management require a significant amount of player micromanagement and multitasking. Effectively positioning and commanding units, managing resource gathering, and coordinating the defense of multiple points in the base are all essential skills for progressing through the game, providing a challenging and satisfying gameplay loop.
