Blockader drops you into a vibrant, ring-shaped arena on the surface of the Moon! Here, brave space-faring mouse warriors must fight to the death against relentless waves of bizarre, cheese-craving creatures. As a survival arena shooter, Blockader frees up your hands with an auto-firing mechanic. This forces you to focus entirely on movement, dodging traps, and crafting game-changing upgrade card combinations.
A closed-loop battle arena means no walls, no blind spots to hide in. Monsters swarm continually from all directions, demanding agile manoeuvring and constant repositioning.
An auto-targeting weapon system locks onto the nearest enemy, turning gameplay into a showcase of reflexes—weaving, baiting monsters, and precise timing.
Freedom to combine effects such as extra projectiles, chain lightning, corrosive poison, fire dragon summons, and massive area-of-effect missile barrages.
Enemy waves escalate in difficulty, featuring dangerous long-range snipers that lie in wait to cut off your escape routes.
Collect Stars after each match to forge permanent gear and upgrade unique skill trees for the six mouse warrior characters.
Every failure on the moon’s surface is a stepping stone toward future victory. Stars gained from combat runs are reinvested into three core improvement trees:
Offence: Increases base weapon damage, fire rate, and critical hit chance.
Defence: Raises max HP, adds armour to absorb damage, and speeds your recovery from strikes.
Utility: Increases the pickup radius of cheese, stars, movement speed, and spawn rate of high-tier cards.
Each of the six mouse warriors has its own unique skill tree and shared equipment. This allows you to try out several playstyles, from fast-paced, up-close combat to a beast-summoning master.
Avoid cutting across the center of the arena when enemy density is high. Instead, maintain a steady circular motion along the outer perimeter. This movement pattern funnels all the monsters into a narrow trail behind you, turning them into perfect targets for piercing attacks or area-of-effect (AoE) damage.
Don’t go card-happy, or go it alone: build around power synergies:
Chain Lightning & Bouncing Bullets: Use "Extra Bullets" with "Chain Lightning." Each shot you shoot sends a chain-reaction electric shock that rapidly wipes out swarms of smaller adversaries.
Summon & Poison: Combine “Poison” with “Dragon Allies.” The dragons will do damage over time, so you may just focus on dodging dangerous blows at the end of the level.
When ranged enemies appear at higher danger levels, their laser beams can cut off your safe path. Use a zigzag movement pattern to throw off their aim, then close the distance so your weapons automatically focus fire and eliminate the snipers first.
The initial waves are usually manageable. Don't waste your rerolls when they aren't strictly necessary. Save them for the second half of the match to hunt for high-tier cards and finalize your build before the final monster surges.
You should definitely give these a try: Space Invaders.
