But be careful! Which walls to demolish is an important choice. ORE is earned by destroying the walls of your own hive. This all suggests a two resource economy, typical of RTS games. Alternatively, you may wish to stay in the same subclass and fight at a disadvantage so that your mutations can level up mid-game, increasing the potency of your unique abilities! Based on which enemies are on the way, you will need to adjust the composition of the hive by mutating swarms between different subclasses, which costs TECH. On the in-game UI, you can see the next 3 minutes of enemy invaders - when they arrive, and their type. So for instance if a horde of weak enemies attack, you might mutate towards an AoE subclass, but if a boss arrives, you might need to switch to a single-target build. Each subclass serves a specific function and focuses on a particular “thing” that that subclass can do especially well. However, there are also 3 subclasses for each class, which give you access to 2 unique abilities which cost ORE to activate. The classes are designed to be mutually dependent, so for instance : warrior classes need helpers classes to survive, and builder classes need digger classes to gather the resources to build their buildings! Your class determines your base damage, and max health. Each swarm's class is set at the beginning of the match, and is fixed for the entirety of the game. Your aliens come in 4 classes : warrior, helper, builder, and digger. You play 2-4 as alien swarms simultaneously, depending on the gameplay mode and how many people are playing. In terms of storyline, imagine the reverse of Ender's Game - where you play as the alien hive mind, and the humans are the invading enemies. In terms of game-feel, imagine Deep Rock Galactic meets Star Craft. Hive Defender is an online, co-op focused RTS which aims to hit that "easy to pick up, impossible to master" sweet spot, where the game is enjoyable at all skill levels, and has accessible, rewarding depth of gameplay.
