Wavecrashers

Wavecrashers is a three-player co-op lane-defense game. You and your teammates protect a core building from enemy hordes, which arrive in waves, and must survive until the final wave to win the round. You can play with bots.

Hero builds

Each hero has a distinct combat identity but is not limited to one role. During a battle, you buy items, strengthen attributes, unlock synergies and adapt your build to the challenges ahead. Talents, Perks and powerful items can reshape a hero’s intended playstyle; across runs, Talents and Perks let familiar heroes develop into more specialized versions of themselves.

The Tides

Tides are an escalating series of challenges that change the rules of battle. Each Tide brings harsher conditions, stronger enemies, shorter preparation windows, empowered bosses, disruptive effects and other dangers that call for refined builds, coordination and adaptation. During each run, Ordeals present dangerous choices that shape how the struggle develops; more severe Ordeals become available at higher Tides.

Defeating a Tide unlocks the next one, adding more pressure to later battles. Perks and Talents carry over as progression, helping you survive the escalating challenges and specialize your heroes further. The Tides use procedural gameplay to make runs unpredictable.

Progression and fairness

All progression is earned through gameplay. The game’s systems are designed to prevent exploits and cheating.
