  • A brand-new location where magic meets technology – the crystal depot

  • An enemy who doesn’t break walls, but your patience – the hacker

  • And a bonus at the end – a brutal melee weapon that doesn’t shoot, but sure as hell makes up for it

Location spotlight: The Crystal Depot

The Crystal Depot is a fusion of tech and sorcery. At its heart lies a generator powering an old crane that’s sorting crates full of rare crystals. And those crystal crates? They don’t always play nice – sometimes they help, sometimes they throw a wrench into your plans.

Enemies come at you from all directions, trying to reach the generator and shut it all down. All you can do is hold the line and make sure the depot doesn’t descend into chaos.

Enemy: The Hacker

He doesn’t roar, doesn’t wave a weapon, and definitely doesn’t aggro on you with fists. He just calmly walks up to a key point and starts typing. Miss your chance to react — and boom, your weapon’s fried. Now you’re stuck in a firefight with no trusty firepower.

He looks harmless, but hits like an IT guy with admin access to your account.

The hacker doesn’t test your strength — he tests your focus. Or your willingness to pay the price.

Weapon: Katana

Speed. Precision. Satisfaction.

The katana can slice through multiple enemies in close range, and even sends out a wave to finish off that guy who thought he was safe in the back.

You don’t just press a button – you swing it with your own hands. Like in those movies where everything comes down to a single, perfect samurai strike.

And if you mess it up… Well, you’ve only got yourself — and maybe the corner of the room — to blame.
