Is there endgame/postgame? Endless mode? Challenge modifiers?

[RKade83]

Basically, what do I do after I've beaten the main story/final boss?

[Error3000]

only beat the tutorial and first city but already got 1 challenge modifier, from what i recall from Early Access there was a bunch of challenge modifiers/difficulties, no clue about endless mode or postgame tho

[RKade83]

What can I say? When I like a gameplay loop, I want to know I can push it to its limit. :P

I am not sure about endless mode or postgame but there seem to be a ton of match modifiers such as things to make it harder or easier. Even a boundless mode option which lets you pick more modifiers. On top of tons of unlocks of course.

I am interested to learn more but figured I'd explain what I could so far.

You can get up to 6 modifiers called apocalypses, there is no postgame, there is no endless mode and they don't plan on adding it (only the most requested feature for the game :'( )

That's extremely disappointing.

Unpopular opinion -- endless would indeed suck, at least without major tweaks to ruleset.

However, they could make a map generator and/or freestyle random cities and that could work as an endgame for some time.

That's as may be but knowing it has a definitive end and, once completed, is "done" is extremely disappointing. It's as you said, there are things that can be done to extend the life of this game.

Speak for yourself, I'd love an endless mode with rotating bosses on 5-10 night basis, etc. Something to let me max out the economy and maximize characters while still being challenged by ever increasing numbers and levels of enemies. Absolutely no reason to not implement it IMO. Sure I'd probably stop around night 30-40 anyway but that would still be a very fun thing to play around with and would be 2-3 maps worth of playtime on its own.

Hi ! About endless mode, it has been requested many time. But it's unlikely it will be added, sorry. Here is an answer that Victor, one of the Game Designer, gave yesterday about that topic.

The idea has been studied on our side, but the conclusion is that it would either turn out super boring, or require massive changes to the game, so no plans for an endless mode.

I'm sure it's not the answer you would have wanted, sorry about that. But I hope you'll still enjoy the game !

MODDERS !

Try using 3 heroes only on Apoc 5+, or no Seer, or melee only, or zero defenses...many such 'personal challenge' runs have been played in beta.

There's the apocalypse levels to try out.

Personal challenges is a way to go also - go full out unarmed punching or skip using omens etc.

Another version is to avoid killing the Boss and keep swatting of the oncoming waves... buit maybe all Bosses now head straight for the Circle if they are left on their own, so... not sure about this one.

Endless mode, as already said, has and is one of the most requested features. Developers have, as also said, repeatedly said that its not in their current planning.

They have stated that they want to make modding posslble so there's that to look forward to. At this moment they have officially said that core focus has been to get full game ready for release and now core focus is to deal with whatever bugs show up. An official roadmap forwards is still somewhere in the future.

It is what it is. And this is what we have, so far.

I hope they come up with challenge scenarios or something. I feel like they could knock a DLC's worth of harder or unique maps or scenarios for achievements or cosmetics or something. Nothing main-game should be gated behind anything abnormally difficult. In short, it should be for lunatics like me :P

[Telzen]

I don't need endless but it would be pretty cool to have a longer map, maybe 20 days or so. Maybe have some tough mini boss type enemies appear on nights 16-19 with the real boss on night 20.

Yeah, agree.

There's a lot of potential for DLCs or mods. The groundwork is solid.
