Some enemies have vulnerable spots, split into smaller creatures when destroyed, explode when killed, or enhance all aliens around them, creating tactical priorities and interesting roles for specialized ships to play. You can creatively use ships, summons, and teamwork to overcome tough situations.
Varied Experiences: Different areas offer unique experiences. Some areas are open RPG zones, cooperative tower defense, or dota-like maps. All areas are highly replayable, and you can try a different approach every time.
Play How You Like: You can be creative with how you set up your ship, powers, and skills. Experiment with different builds in different zones.
