Hostile Lands is a 2D top-down roguelite shooter where a crash landing is mistaken for an act of war. The game moves through 7 environments, where players will encounter many types of enemies, find many unique weapons and discover the reason behind the crash. With procedurally generated levels, alternate bosses, and random gun spawns, players will have a unique experience every run. Collect them All! 8 different gun types for all play styles: Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, SMGs, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Crossbows, Bladeguns…and perhaps some secrets you’ll just have to discover for yourself… Play your way! Each character has a unique skill that you can use once per level. So whether you want to decimate your enemies with Robert’s Blazing Barrels or turn them against each other with Maria’s Psych Strike, you’ll hold your own in the Hostile Lands! Plus every character has a passive buff so if you want a little extra speed to dodge bullets or some extra health to absorb them, we got you covered!  Some Hostile Variety! Each with its own theme, enemies, bosses and loot will guarantee a new experience every run! Feel the Power! Every run you’ll gain “Tech” points which can be used to purchases upgrades Our permanent progression system means you get to keep your hard won achievements…even when starting a new run! Lots of Options! Normal - when you’re just starting out. Try, fail, buy some upgrades, dominate your foes and prepare for the mayhem of Hard Mode Hard Mode - when you need a challenge. More enemies, more bullets, more guns! Survival - how long can you last against continuous waves of vicious enemies howling for your blood?
