DUST WALKERS
An evolution of the Vampire Survivor game type, the player will be able to manage more than one playable character at a time. Combining RTS elements into this game type challenges the player in new ways.
Players start with the normal single hero to play with but over time are able to buy new heroes with special abilities and unique stats.
After a while playing the game the player is managing a team of three Dust Walkers that will try to survive as long as possible in the inhospitable operations you send them on.
SQUAD BUILDING
In Dust Walkers each run you must defend you base while also exploring a hostile environment. Every few minutes a new boss is spawned and moves towards your base.
The dilemma that players are confronted with is built around the idea of push and pull.
Objectives on the map such as supply boxes, sensor towers, drop pods, and dust resource locations. Resourcing dust is the main way to improve you based and repel wave of hostile forces.
Once you have setup basic defenses, you will be able to venture further into the unknow map and complete objectives. Each objective grants experience points, weapons, or both.
As you complete objectives you units will level up and be presented with 3 choices about what kind of upgrade you would like to add to your Dust Walker.
Each unit has an equipment. When you pickup new weapons you can swap out your old weapons for new ones.
Enviably either your base or Dust Walkers will fall and you will have failed the operation. Failure or Victory will grant you cash to spend on your next operation. You will get new recruits and be able to unlock new technologies.
OPERATIONS
Guns are the lifeblood of your Dust Walkers. While on an operation. You will need to curate your units weapons based on the bosses and enemies you face.
Each weapon has a rarity and stats associated with the gun. The higher the rarity the less variance there is on the stats and more likely to get the perfectly rolled version.
GUNS LOTS OF GUNS
