Shoot through the hordes with different weapons and add new weapons by leveling up your hero. Choose from three different items which randomly be chosen per level up where each can be one of three item types, a consumable, a weapon or a stats modifying item. In addition the items have a rarity attribute which defines their strength of enhancement and if you are lucky you might find a legendary item. Stash them into your inventory but choose wisely as you dont have infinite space in your backback and they are not interchangeable but you can skip or reroll the items if they do not fit your playstyle. You can also reroll if you want a specific item, want to build for a specific playstyle or you just had bad luck but as usual nothing comes without a cost. And in the main menu item shop you can increase your inventory space by simply buying a backpack.
