Gamemodes are special modifiers given to players when they begin a run. They can be activated via the Prestige Shop, which can be unlocked with research.
Gamemodes cannot stack.
The potential gamemodes are as follows:
Classic[]
- The standard mode, begins when no gamemode is selected. Does not change anything.
- Potential rewards for completing classic mode:
- Beating the Last Defender at 140% difficulty or higher will complete a class challenge, giving a permanent minor stat boost depending on the class played that applies to all classes.
- Beating the Last Defender at 200% difficulty or higher is a required step for each classes' insanity challenge.
- The Insanity Challenge is a difficult challenge which is tracked individually for each class. Completing the challenge will reward the player with a permanent minor change to that class.
