About This Game

───────────────

Night falls, and the horde never ends. Your only weapons are a radiant sword, a battle axe, and the survival instincts

you sharpen with every wave.

Night Raider is a 3D top-down Vampire Survivors-inspired survival shooter. Built in Godot 4.5 with the Forward Plus re

nderer, every battle unfolds across detailed 3D arenas—brick floors, breakable barrels, and dynamic lighting that make

s each fight a test of both strategy and spectacle.

Auto-Fire, Focus on Tactics

───────────────────────────

Your character automatically locks onto and fires at the nearest threat. All you control is movement and decision-maki

ng. WASD to dodge, mouse to pick upgrades. Easy to learn, but mastery demands tactical thinking.

20+ Roguelike Skill Builds

──────────────────────────

Every level-up offers a random three-card choice to reshape your run:

• Barrage Branch: Multishot, Fan Spread, Giant Bullet, Double Strike—drown the horde in raw firepower.

• Elemental Destruction: Frost Bolts to slow, Burning Rounds to sear, Explosive Shells for screen-wide clears, and Tox

Clouds that eat away health over time.

• Precision Strikes: Homing bullets that never miss, Pierce rounds that tear through formations, Chain Lightning that

cs between foes, and Critical Hits that shake the camera.

• Survival Layers: Cell Regeneration for passive healing, Thorns Aura to punish attackers, Orbiting Shields for active

efense, and Vampiric Fangs that heal on every kill.

• Power Awakenings: Blood Frenzy, Recoil Burst, Devotion, Amulets of Strength—every pick redefines your playstyle.

A Bestiary of Threats

─────────────────────

Not all enemies charge blindly. You'll face:

• Goblins & War Chariots — endless melee fodder that tests your positioning

• Witches & Shooters — ranged threats that force you to keep moving

• Vampires & Spiders — fast assassins that punish slow reactions

• Giant Elites — scaled-up nightmares that appear as dynamic difficulty ramps up

Dynamic Difficulty & Polished Performance

─────────────────────────────────────────

Enemies don't just flood the screen—they get smarter, faster, and tougher over time. Smart distance culling and a 60-e

nemy cap keep the action smooth even at peak chaos. Rich audio feedback—gunfire, impact crunches, kill confirms, XP ch

imes, and looping footsteps—keeps you immersed without ear fatigue.

3D Visuals & Atmosphere

───────────────────────

Glowing weapons cut through the dark. Bullets and experience gems emit dynamic point lights that paint the battlefield

. Procedural brick shaders, PBR materials, and death dissolve animations built with Tweens add a layer of polish you c

an feel.
