About WAVECADE

✦ AI summary

WAVECADE is a retro arcade shooter that channels the spirit of Space Invaders and Galaga with sleek 80s sci-fi aesthetics while adding time manipulation, stackable power-ups, and dynamic hazards that keep each wave escalating in intensity. Battle through progressively harder waves, face off against pattern-based bosses, compete in multiple game modes solo or with friends, and climb the leaderboards for seasonal cash prizes and bragging rights.

WAVECADE is a sci-fi, arcade-style #shmup where YOU control the speed of the game. Destroy blocks, minions and bosses in style as you collect powerups and avoid hazards. How far can you go?

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
