Bombs and power-ups are certainly an option and a good way to survive to later days when you are coming to grips with the mode. But soon they get a little trickier especially with a bunch of enemies around. The first bunch can be easily beaten with your standard guns or a well-timed Boost explosion. I usually save my Overdrive for taking down the Sentinels that come in at the end of each wave.īut knowing they are there doesn’t necessarily mean they are easy to take down. Later on you likely won’t miss them, but in the first day or so they can sneak in and out if you aren’t careful. This makes it possible to spot the big baddies easier. The game’s cylindrical playfield means you can see what is going on in other parts of the level in the background.
The first tip for taking out Sentinels is to keep an eye out for them. If you have played some Resogun Survival you know how helpful both of those things can be. Killing these will clear the screen of enemies and open the next wave with a ship (or two) that skirts across the top of the screen and will drop humans when attacked. One large part of my strategy for Survival involves making sure I can take down Sentinels, the boss-like enemy that appears at the end of each wave. So I think you need to find what works for you.
While this is the build I have been using, a quick look at the top of the leaderboards shows plenty of different setups and ones featuring all the weapons. And even set to 0 it delivers what I need it to, which I will get into in a moment. My stats are partly because I had become accustomed to Nemesis’ abilities, but I ended dropping Overdrive because I didn’t find myself using it all that much. This really helps when you eventually get swarmed with enemies from every which way. After a few upgrades, it homes in on enemies and will eventually basically surround your ship with attack capabilities enabling you to take out enemies above, below and in the opposite direction you are shooting. I love the Nemesis weapon and I think it is definitely a good call for beginners. It is very similar to the standard Nemesis ship but with one point added to Boost and Overdrive dropped to zero. I have settled on a ship that uses Nemesis weapons with Agility set to 7, Boost set to 8 and Overdrive at 0. Figuring out what is best for you will probably take some experimentation. The best thing about the new editor Housemarque added isn’t making your own X-wing, but being able to choose whichever combination of stats and weapons you prefer. The first thing you want to do is figure out your ideal ship build. My best Survival scores have come using my own created ship, Green Lightning, with 7-8-0 stats and Nemesis weapons.
I reviewed it back around its release, but after really sinking some time into it and finding myself regularly in the top 100 on the leaderboards, I thought I’d share a little about how I approach the mode and some little strategies I have developed to help up my score. Since it came out about a month ago I have been addicted to Resogun’s new Survival Mode. So keep in mind that these tips may only be useful to beginners at the mode.) That means it is rather outdated if you are running into it now.
