❤ Diverse Mech Selection

Players can choose from a variety of unique mech types, each with its own distinct control scheme, passive abilities, and customizable weapon slot configurations. For example, the Lazarus mech offers a balanced approach, the Dozer can regenerate health by running over enemies, and the Spider has a spider-like movement pattern. This wide range of mech options allows players to tailor their playstyle to their preferences, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay.

❤ Stackable Weapon Customization

The game's weapon system enables players to install multiple instances of the same weapon type in different slots, allowing them to stack the effects and create powerful combinations. For instance, players can mix and match various primary (e.g., machine guns), secondary (e.g., lasers), and dreadnought (e.g., guided missiles) weapons to suit their playstyle. Additionally, players can independently upgrade each weapon within its respective slot, further enhancing the customization possibilities.

❤ Intense Reverse Bullet Hell Combat

The core gameplay loop involves navigating the mech through hordes of enemy projectiles while strategically deploying the player's own firepower. Unlike many similar games, Project Lazarus requires manual aiming, adding an extra layer of challenge and engagement as players must actively track and eliminate targets. The chaotic, high-intensity battles create a thrilling and adrenaline-fueled experience.

❤ Persistent Progression and Meta-Upgrades

The game features a meta-progression system, where players can spend resources earned during runs to permanently upgrade their weapons, expansions, and other aspects of their mech in the Armory. For example, players can invest in upgrades that increase the starting level of their installed weapons, gradually strengthening their loadouts and improving their chances of survival, even if individual runs end in defeat. This encourages repeated playthroughs and a sense of long-term progression, keeping players engaged and motivated to push further.

❤ Dynamic Environmental Challenges

As players progress, they will encounter various environmental hazards and obstacles, such as treacherous terrain or the emergence of powerful "gorilla" enemies. Overcoming these challenges requires players to adapt their strategies and utilize their mech's unique abilities, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the gameplay.
