About

Squad Rush 3D

Features
Read full description

Squad Rush 3D is a simple action runner where you control a squad moving forward while shooting enemies on the road. Defeat enemy groups to recruit more soldiers and grow your squad size during the run. You can call air support to help clear large enemy waves. Different aircraft provide different amounts of ammunition. More advanced support options offer higher firepower but cost more points to use. Each level introduces new enemy patterns and difficulty changes. At the end of certain stages, players face boss fights that reward bonus score upon completion. The game focuses on quick sessions, easy controls, and gradual difficulty progression. More content and balance updates will be added in future versions.
