Gameplay[]

In Endless War, the player controls a soldier from a top-down perspective as they fight across a wide variety of battlefields featured in the game’s five campaigns. In each mission of the game, the player’s objective is to get their soldier from one side of the level to the other. Each level will also feature varying numbers of enemy soldiers who will try to stop the player from completing their objective. Killing all of the enemy soldiers is not required for mission completion, however it is recommended as the player can quickly be killed if they are targeted by multiple soldiers or heavy machine guns.

In some missions, the player will be joined by allies that they will be able to order to specific locations in order to provide a distraction or kill enemy soldiers. Allies in Endless War are very difficult to keep alive due to their miniscule health and slow movements, many of them will die in the first ten seconds of a mission if they are not in cover. Thankfully it is not required for them to reach the end of the mission along with the player.

Although the campaigns and missions are laid out in a specific order, the player can choose to play any mission from any campaign right from the beginning, without the need to unlock them. Before starting a mission, the player will be presented with a mission briefing that gives them a brief description and backstory of the mission, a difficulty rating and the weapon that they will be starting with. Using cover during combat is the key to success in many missions, especially those in which the player is vastly outnumbered.
