Hack and slash games with a build-up

In many wave fighters your sword is the same at wave 12 as at wave 1. Here the blade changes during the fight: strike to heat it, then spend that heat on fire. Your horned warrior gets stronger inside a single wave, not only between them.

That gives every wave a rhythm: slash to build up, burn to clear, dash to reset. The hint on screen says it plainly: strike to heat the blade.

Tips for the Amber Fen

The swamp is dark, so turn your brightness up. Enemies are easier to see. The red flashes when you take a hit also help you notice danger.

Do not waste the fire skill on one enemy. Wait until a group closes in, then burn them together. Dash early when you see a crowd forming behind you, then turn and strike again to keep the blade hot.

Nonstop waves, clear finish

Action fans who want nonstop fighting. There is no story to wait through, just waves and a sword that keeps getting hotter. The swamp, the fog and the ruins give it a dark fantasy mood.

It suits short, intense sessions. Twelve waves give you a clear finish line, and the skull counter shows how much damage you did.
