About

AR Strike

Features
Read full description

Your room is the battlefield. AR Strike is a wave-defence shooter played through your phone's camera. Attackers close in from the front; you aim by turning the phone and hold your ground. No maps, no level design — wherever you are standing is the arena. WAVES Every wave is harder than the last. Five enemy types: fast rushers, armoured heavies, marksmen who shoot from range. A boss every fifth wave. WEAPONS Twenty weapons across six classes — pistols, SMGs, rifles, snipers, heavy and a blade. Damage, fire rate, armour penetration and recoil pattern are different for each. Four grenades: fragmentation, incendiary, flash and smoke. ECONOMY Clear a wave, take the payout, spend it in the buy break. Armour, a better rifle, or a grenade — your call. PROGRESSION A lost run still counts. The XP you earn raises a permanent level, and each level buys a stronger opening: more starting credits, then kevlar, then a helmet. LEADERBOARD Runs are recorded. The wave you reached, the eliminations you took and your total score all place on the board. Multiplayer coming soon. Note: the game uses your camera, motion sensors and location. Location only places you inside the match arena, and is shared only with players in your match.
