Survival
Survival
The classic night: survive 20:00 and defeat The Unburied to win.
The horde thickens over time, new enemy types join on schedule and bosses arrive with a herald. In between, horde challenges test your positioning: blast zones to flee, encirclements to break through and walls to go around.
Elites start showing up at 00:30 and become more frequent. They are tougher than commons, drop chests and can be executed.
Every 03:00, a Plague Bearer appears: kill it or bleed to death.
On top of that, map events reshape the battlefield every minute or two. Map events

ENDLESS MODE
Endless mode
You defeated the Overlord. Continue to face the endless night, or end here with the victory secured.
After the victory, the night goes on. 60 s later the first pair of bosses arrives, and a new pair comes every 03:00, up to 4 bosses at once. The pairs follow this order:
With each pair, a modifier stacks up and makes the night crueler. The longer you hold out, the stronger the horde gets.

Play Online (co-op)
Online co-op
Coming soon
Up to 8 players in the same night, on a server running the very same game simulation.
Online co-op is already built into the game and has passed tests with bots. The public server isn’t live yet: it arrives with the launch.
- Whoever creates the room gets a 4-letter code to send to friends; everyone picks a hero, gets ready and the host starts.
- Each player gets their own cards when leveling up, without pausing the world for the others.
- Down? An ally who stays by your side for 3.5 s revives you with 50% health and 2.5 s of invulnerability.
- While you wait, you watch a living ally and can switch who you follow.
- Pausing opens a vote: the others accept or refuse, and the majority wins.
- The host picks the difficulty. On Ranked, gold, victories, best time and achievements all count.
