Hive Slayer

Hive Slayer is an arcade shooter in which you fight an endless alien horde as the last surviving member of the Hive Slayers, the galaxy’s defense against alien threats. Armed with a matrix gauntlet and plasma blaster, your mission is B.A.B.: Blast All Bugs and survive the XenoHorde to bring mankind back from the brink.

Game modes

The game has three modes, each with a different challenge:

• Standard Mode: clear waves and defeat bosses and minibosses.
• Arcade Mode: defeat columns of enemies before they get too close.
• Endless Mode: see how long you can last against the endless horde.

Weapons and power-ups

You can use three rates of fire: Punchy Rapid-Fire, Hair Trigger Sniper and Bold Shotgun. Power-ups include Rapid-Fire, which increases your fire rate; Shield Recharge, which fully charges your matrix shield; and Bomb, which destroys swarms in a fiery blast.

Enemies and combat

The XenoHorde includes three enemy types: Standard bugs are simple but deadly, Rapid-Fire bugs fire more bullets, and Armored bugs take more to kill. Staying on target builds your score multiplier, while the matrix gauntlet can reflect projectiles back into enemy lines.

Leaderboards

Local and online leaderboards let you compare scores with friends, with a separate leaderboard for every game mode.
