We have a brand new game mode for Star Survivor, currently called Campaign (sounded cute, might rename later) where you choose a ship and traverse through a series of missions to build up your ship.
In this mode, you start from scratch and must craft your build on the fly with the options presented to you along your journey. The map consists of hexs where you start off on the left and must make it to the final boss on the right.
Each hex or location has different objectives, hazards, and rewards. When entering a location you will play as normal but instead of drawing from your prebuilt deck, you will have access to the entire library of cards regardless if they have been discovered or not. New equipment, upgrades, levels and experience on you ship will persist between stages in this mode. The difficulty will increase the further you progress.
Along the way, there are currently two friendly hex tiles on the map: The Merchant Outpost and The Upgrade Station.
The Merchant Outpost - Spend collected credits on purchasing direct upgrades for your ship. They can be rerolled but purchased slots will be locked during the visit.
The Upgrade Station - Will upgrade a specific applied card in your inventory, this will directly increase its effectiveness.
In this mode, the 3-card limit does not apply, since it draws from the global library it is possible to see the same upgrade multiple times. This opens up the potential for different builds and is countered by the fact that drawing exactly what you need will be harder since the pool is much larger and random.
I suspect rerolling will be vital in this mode. This is why every draw has reroll functionality at constantly increasing cost.
Currently, if you die during a mission you will be limited to two card pick before returning to the map. I am not sure if I want to introduce perma death and kill off a run since I think it will be pretty hard.
Rewards for completing the campaign:
If defeating the boss, you will get a pick of cards to permanently upgrade in the card library for pre-made decks and future campaign runs. Upgrading cards in deck builder has been moved to be deck-specific, cost will reflect how many upgraded cards a deck has.
The new mode will be available in the final release soon! Stay tuned!
