Tips & strategy
Score and mission progress are different
The score can rise while the knockdown objective remains at zero. Watch the mission counter to tell whether an enemy has actually been defeated. A long survival time is useful practice, but does not by itself complete a knockdown mission.
Get close enough to fight
Punches and heavy attacks need the right distance. Moving continuously through an enemy can put you on the wrong side or leave you exposed. Approach, stop within reach and watch the next attack. Start with one attack button so you can recognise its effect.
Use the red warning as a cue
The game’s own retry tip tells you to block with C when the red exclamation mark appears, then hit back. Practise that exchange on one soldier. Watching the warning and health bar gives you better feedback than pressing several combat buttons together.
The ground is only half the battlefield
Bombs and other hazards arrive from above while soldiers occupy the ground. Look up between exchanges and avoid getting pinned at an edge. A gap that gives your fighter room to retreat can matter more than one extra punch.
Spend with a problem in mind
The Armory offers gear and upgrades, and the menu offers four difficulty choices. If the opening fight overwhelms you, try an easier difficulty while learning the warning cue. Compare your next attempt before deciding that an upgrade is the answer.
Game modes
Campaign, Endless, Daily and Challenges appear in the menu, alongside the Armory. The campaign lists 100 levels across ten chapters.
