The Shrine

Is the best freaking Horde/Firefight/Survival mode type game ever. It adds one VERY important piece to the already popular mode that has made it infinitely more fun (to me at least) -- Leveling and items.

3 heroes are in a little arena where you have endless waves of enemies. It's all about racking up a high score, and the longer you last without dying, while holding control points, and killing the waves as quick as possible all adds multipliers to your score. Every 4th wave is a boss-type wave just to spice things up. When you do die, you get experience based on your score which levels up your character, unlocks new abilities, and possibly items.

Shrin and I played for over 2 hours today and I'm ready to play more. It's just so much more satisfying when each time you're getting a little better. The longest we've lasted so far is Wave 10, and each game has lasted maybe 15 minutes. Great time waster and a free update if you already own Dawn of War 2.

Yeah it's very fun. It says that level has nothing to do with how many waves you get through... but until I see a video of level ones getting to Wave 20, I'm going to be calling bullshit.

It's half true... because levels don't make your hero better (doesn't get more HP or damage) but it unlocks new items and abilities that are CRUCIAL to survival. We wouldn't have survived to wave 12 without the Eldritch Storm, or my jump pack and instant-revives. But yeah, the pro tip makes it sound like a level 1 could beat the game and that's just stupid wrong.

I'm sure sooner or later a Youtube video will be up heh.
