Our take on Run or Die
Rather than relying only on automatic running, the game makes movement abilities central to survival and adds a large Ion Cannon. Its daily mode also replaces changing personal attempts with a shared layout and one-score comparison window.
What is Run or Die?
Run or Die is an endless runner set in a dangerous city where each attempt uses a different layout.
Players control one of three characters and use the R. O. D. Suit's five movement abilities, along with an Ion Cannon, to navigate hazards and reach the Lab. The game includes more than 170 handcrafted maps, a day-and-night cycle, Endless Mode, Training Mode, and Challenge Mode, which requires collecting Intel and reaching the goal. Daily Runs give players one attempt per day on the same city layout, with online score comparisons. User-created challenge maps can be shared through Steam Workshop. Native controller support, quick restarts, achievements, and music by Vidboy and Lifeformed are also included.
