Nightmare Tides is a Survivors-like survival game—no tedious deck-building required, focusing on "elemental skill progression + multi-map survival challenges":
Core Gameplay: Defeat monsters to gain XP and level up. Upgrade each of the five elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) to Level 2 to unlock powerful skills (Metal = Lightning AoE, Wood = Continuous Heal, Water = Wave AoE, Fire = Tracking Fire Tornado, Earth = Black Hole Devour). Mix and match skills to build your survival playstyle.
Maps & Experience: 4 distinct maps (Basin/Island/Snowfield/Earth). Basin and Earth maps feature random weather (rain, lightning); each map has unique difficulty + diverse enemies (humanoids, zombie dogs, venomous spiders, octopus monsters) for varied runs.
Win Condition: Survive until Wave 20 to unlock the level’s exclusive victory card.
