Fall of Freya

Fall of Freya is a cooperative sci-fi survival shooter. In each match, every player starts at level 1 and chooses a class, then the team works to survive 10 waves of enemies. You earn levels and money during a match, and surviving to the end gives a large reward; failing earns significantly less. Match results also determine the Rank Progression and Credits added to your account, which you use to unlock cosmetics, weapons, attachments and classes.

Manage the cold

Freya’s cold environment makes temperature management an important part of play. Enemies, the environment, equipment and player classes can all affect your temperature. If it falls below a terminal point, you die instantly and cannot be revived; managing it effectively can instead provide performance boosts.

Choose a class

Classes, also called species, have distinct abilities. Agile species can wallrun, tank races are immune to fall damage and can break certain environments, and synthetics are nearly invulnerable to conventional damage. Leader classes are the only ones played from a third-person perspective, which gives them a tactical advantage.

Learn the enemies

The game has a limited number of maps designed for players to learn and become familiar with. Enemies come in three types: Normals, Elites and Bosses. Normals serve as cannon fodder, while Elites have one randomized trait, such as teleportation, invisibility, replication, speed, frost, poison, physics or immunity to certain damage types. The strength of an Elite’s trait depends on match difficulty and the number of players.

Bosses have abilities not found among other enemies and inherit multiple traits at once. For example, the Seductress can change your control scheme, and may also be invisible and able to teleport. You need to balance your gear and team to deal with the range of enemy abilities.

Permanent unlocks

At the Flushed Dahlia, also known as The Den, you spend cash earned in matches on permanent unlocks for classes, weapons, attachments and cosmetics. Weapons are balanced by specialization rather than rarity: a rare weapon is not necessarily stronger, and both a purpose-built weapon and a default one can be powerful in skilled hands.
