Kill or survive
Kill or survive drops you into a compact battleground where the odds are stacked against you. Enemies swarm from every direction, each one eager to take you down with ranged shots or close-range lunges. The action never lets up, and the pressure builds as each wave becomes more chaotic and unpredictable. Your only tools are your reflexes, your weapon, and the space you can carve out for yourself. Movement is just as important as aiming. Staying still for even a moment can be fatal, so you'll need to keep moving while lining up your shots. The game rewards players who can balance aggression with caution, pushing forward to clear threats while always leaving a path to dodge. With its straightforward controls and escalating intensity, it offers a pure test of hand-eye coordination that keeps you coming back for one more attempt.
