Blockader

About Blockader

Blockader is a colorful 2D roguelite arena shooter that throws you into chaotic lunar battles against waves of unusual enemies. Move between the planets and join the battle right now.

Circle the Moon and Survive the Waves

Blockader places your character inside a ring-shaped battlefield while enemies close in from every direction. Your weapons attack automatically, letting you focus on movement, positioning, and staying alive as each wave becomes more dangerous. Defeat enemies to fill the wave meter and earn a selection of random upgrade cards before the next assault. Every run can develop differently depending on the upgrades you collect.

Controls for the battle in Blockader

• 1-4 - Select an upgrade card

Shape Your Build With Upgrade Cards

The card system is the core of each run in Blockader. There are 100+ upgrade cards divided into four rarities, giving you plenty of combinations to discover. Upgrades can provide effects such as:

• Extra Bullets - Increase projectile output.
• Chain Lightning - Let attacks strike additional targets.
• Poison - Add damage-over-time effects.
• Dragon Allies - Summon additional offensive support.
• Arrows - Add another source of ranged damage.
• Rerolls - Give you more chances to find useful cards.

Face Eight Enemy Tiers

Enemy difficulty grows as you survive more waves. Blockader includes eight danger tiers, creating increasingly demanding encounters as your run progresses. Snipers add another threat to the battlefield by attacking from range, forcing you to pay attention to positioning instead of focusing only on enemies surrounding your character.

Track Cards and Chase Higher Waves

The upgrade collection records the cards you have discovered while playing, including hidden mysteries waiting to be uncovered. A wave leaderboard also tracks high-reaching runs, giving you a clear target for improving your survival record.

Keep Building After Every Run

A run in Blockader can end, but your progression continues through permanent Gear, character Skill Trees, and collected upgrades. Experiment with different cards, strengthen your preferred character, and return to the lunar arena for another attempt.

Enter the battlefield, survive the next wave, and push your Blockader run further than before. If you want to try a completely fresh and unique action game, try Ragdoll Sandbox.
