Dear Neighbors,
We are finally ready to present to you the new PvE mode for Neighbors - Robot Invasion! A brand-new wave-survival PvE mode is officially arriving in Neighbors! Defend your home. Earn cash. Fortify the block. Survive the nights!
A little run down on what you can expect from the game mode:
Watch the Launch Trailer:[dynamiclink href="https://youtu.be/xAnQdMl4S6M"]
And yes — if the robots look familiar, that’s because they are. The Personoids from First Class Trouble have finally wiped out the rich folks aboard the Alithea… and now they’re marching straight into your front lawn for Round Two.
We have incorporated as much as possible from the core game, then added a ton of things to really support the horde like game mode; and then we sprinkled in a ton of different murderous, rampaging, robots/personoids that just want to put you back to sleep. The core game loop in the game mode will look like this:
We also included more ways to customize the game mode by adding options to tailor the game as you want!
