About this game

Play with Friends

Play with or against your friends in Flashlight. Choose to battle through the roguelite story experience solo or cooperatively with your friends. Challenge others in Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch PvP modes.

Randomized Levels and a variety of enemies

Fight against waves of different zombies and bosses through procedurally generated levels and randomized events. Never have the same exact experience twice!

Equipment Mods

Search for and gather equipment mods for your player character and weapons. Many combinations exist and can be used for fun team comps!

Crafting

Build your own turrets and barriers that will halt the progress of the horde.

Enemy Mercenaries

Encounter and defeat enemy mercenary groups as clear out different zones, potentially trapped with enemy turrets. Enemy mercenaries are dangerous foes as they are fully equipped with the same capabilities as the players.

Rank up and choose from various skills and tech drops

Choose between four different mercenary groups to join. Each group has a different set of perks to choose from as you move up the ranks and prove yourself by earning "Merc Cred" as you go. The more things you kill, the more Cred you earn to rank up. Call in air drops that contain supplies and technical upgrades for your weaponry that will turn the tide of battle!
