So what is this game exactly?

Striving for Light: Survival is a roguelite arena survival game where you try to survive waves of enemies unlock achievements and climb the ladder in various leaderbords for different maps and difficulty tiers.

What makes it different from Striving for Light?

Striving for Light: Survival is much simpler in its mechanics and playstyle. You choose your weapons and skills for each run, select a map and the difficulty tier and jump right into the action. Attacks are performed and aimed automatically, so you are mostly focusing on your movement. Movement is crucial in this game as defeating enemies does not grant you experience directly. Each defeated enemy drops light fragments which only grant you experience if they are picked up in the current wave. So if you take a look at a full run there is a finite amount of enemies where experience can be obtained. This makes a perfect foundation for competitive leaderboards as its all about performing best in the given timeframe. A futher big difference is that there is minimal resource management. Melee and range attacks are all based on cooldowns. Managing plenty of resources (energy, endurance, dodge regeneration) in Striving for Light can be very overwhealming for new players at first. So those resources are completely removed from the skill tree which makes the tree much more compact and impactful when placing a skill point. Overall the player progression is much faster than in Striving for Light. No endless runs, but defined compact runs of around 20-30 minutes. Both games can be played independently without the need of having played the other game. We hope that you enjoy this new experience with Striving for Light: Survival and are looking forward to hear your feedback!
