Undead Tide: Light's Defense

Undead Tide: Light's Defense is a bullet hell survival game in which you play as a hero fighting an endless undead tide, defeating bosses and defending the Light, humanity’s last bastion of hope. Its 16 progressively challenging chapters test your positioning, combat combinations and resource management. Collect gold to unlock heroes, weapons and talents.

Heroes

The game has seven heroes, each with a distinct mechanic and talent direction:

• Drow Ranger: The starting hero, with high movement speed. She works well with attack speed, projectile count and ricochet.
• Tauren Chieftain: A high-health tank. Talents that let him start at half health or deal more damage at low health complement his last-hit and counter-attack abilities.
• Lina: Every third shot triggers a Flame Blast that deals area damage and applies a burning effect. Fire skills support a sustained burn build.
• Juggernaut: Can dash, leaving a clone behind to attack enemies. The clone inherits some of his stats, supporting clone and summoner playstyles.
• Razor: His bullets deal additional chain lightning damage on hit. Lightning skills and the Evil Eye projectile effect can be combined with this ability.
• Shadow Fiend: Enemies he kills spawn souls that pursue other foes. Summon-enhancing skills can help him build an undead army.
• Crystal Maiden: Every sixth shot creates an ice orb that damages and freezes enemies. Ice skills and rapid fire let her fill the screen with orbs.

Weapons

Eight weapons offer different attack methods and work better with particular heroes. Combining a weapon, hero and talents creates different battle styles.

• Dark Bow: A ranger’s standard weapon with balanced attack speed.
• Mithril Carbine: A short-range dwarven firearm with a wide area of effect, suited to close-range crowd clearing.
• Siege Crossbow: Charges automatically while you stand still, increasing its pierce and damage.
• Flamelock: Fires superheated shots that burn enemies.
• Twin-Headed Dragon: A pair of pistols that uses two rounds per shot for high burst damage.
• Mini Drones: Summons two drones that track and attack enemies, benefiting from projectile and summon damage bonuses.
• Crystal Cannon: Fires an explosive cannonball that deals area damage, but can also hurt you.
• Phoenix Crossbow: Fires arrows that stick in the ground and later return, damaging enemies on their way back.

Talents

Talents are split into Offense and Defense, and you can equip four from each category. Offense talents can improve attack speed, reload speed, elemental damage conduction and summon damage; Defense talents can increase maximum health, health regeneration, shields and upgrade efficiency. You can reset talents for free at any time to change your build between heroes and weapons.

Game modes

Chapter Mode has 16 difficulty levels. Fight unique undead bosses, earn gold and unlock heroes, weapons and talents as you progress from easier to harder challenges.

In Trial Mode, you gain double experience to level up heroes quickly, but cannot earn gold. Endless Mode rewards you for surviving as long as possible, but talents are inactive, leaving positioning and firepower to carry you through.
