There is no story or objectives to complete in this expansion. Your goal is to survive waves of enemies that spawn in various locations. There are two challenges with twenty waves each.
The swamp environment is new and there are some new enemies as well. Some new enemies include chomping treasure chests and zombies. Many of the enemies from the main game are brought back in vicious hordes. Even Vlad the vampire stops by to try and kill you.
As Arrowhead Game Studios turns 15, join us in celebrating its past and learn how its first game Magicka influenced Helldivers 2.
I played Magicka, but I never realized it was the same dev as Helldivers. Makes plenty of sense considering how much friendly fire is in Magicka lol
"The founders of Arrowhead Game Studios (the team behind one of the world's biggest international game successes with the game "Magicka") is now investing in the Swedish Gaming company Mind Detonator whose business concept is to capture talent at a very early stage and build the next generation of gaming developers far from the big cities." - Arrowhead Game Studios
Arrowhead Studios, the developers of Helldivers and the Magicka series are working on a new third-person online co-op game.
