The Idea

DEATHSCALATOR is intense but strategic and is a unique take on the genre of wave-survival games. It provides a unique experience for each player through different build opportunities. It rewards players who master its mechanics while still providing an exciting experience and incentive to continue for those who have not. In DEATHSCALATOR, the player controls a robot built by the Disease & Infection Control Company sent to investigate a lab from which a highly infectious and dangerous disease originated. This lab has become a hive for individuals infected who have become deadly, mutated creatures. To complete their mission, the player must get to the bottom of the lab by riding a large platform. The robot the player controls can pick up the limbs of creatures and attach them to their own body, which enhances their abilities in combat. This allows the player to enhance certain abilities that they like to play with, such as increased knockback to hit enemies off the platform more easily
