Our take on Impact
The focus on endless survival keeps attention on combat decisions and run-by-run builds, but sacrifices a fixed campaign structure. Players looking for clearly paced missions or story-centered progression may find the repeated survival format limiting.
What is Impact?
Impact is a rogue-like survival game built around endless combat runs that continue until the character dies.
Players select a character, choose an opening weapon, and shape each run with cards, classes, special abilities, and more than 10 gameplay-influencing abilities. Different maps introduce distinct hazards, including aerial bomb drops and sandstorms. Food restores health, magnets collect experience from a distance, and an in-game merchant sells items. A shop allows customization of characters’ main hands. The vendor also describes monthly new seasons, with Fall Of Cratland as the current season. Online play with friends is under development and planned for a future release.
