Nightsong Mercenaries

This is a fast-paced cooperative survival map with more of an arcade feel than a gritty/realistic one. The objective is to kill as many enemies as possible to score points before you're evacuated. Kill streaks result in more points. Higher points means higher ranks, better endings, and tougher enemies! Bosses spawn at every 100k points. Each boss kill grants a skill point to all heroes. Minibosses spawn at every 25k points, and additional enemy spawners spawn every 60k points.

There's a mission timer that counts down. Once the timer is up, you'll be evacuated and your score and achievements will be displayed. There are Time Extension powerups at each corner of the map that will extend your mission time by 4 minutes. This lets you get a higher score, but also raises the risk of failure.

  • 2 play modes and 3 spawning modes that can be combined for up to 6 different modes of play.
  • Rebalanced hero abilities to fit a more fast-paced game

Nightsong Operatives

It is the year 45128 on planet EG-22. Repeated reports of disturbances and missing persons have come from a relatively secluded community. A SLAP (Specially Licensed Anti-Personnel) team was sent in to investigate. They haven't responded for days and are believed dead.

In response, the Government sent a second team to trace the SLAP team's steps and find what took them out. They sent in their most secretive and elite fighting unit...they sent in the Nightsong Operatives. Few in all the world meet them and live to tell the tale, but those few that do whisper aloud in their sleep of a military unit of unparalleled skill aided by powers so...gnarly, that members seen blown apart are later seen stalking the land amongst their squadmates as if nothing had happened, and that nothing alive can survive a single night of combat with them. You, the player, and your friends will take on the role of the Operatives and unravel the mystery of both the Operatives and their mission once and for all!
