Survival Mode adds a new way to play The Hive, built around one simple idea: your swarm persists.

Instead of resetting between missions, your units carry over to the next level , keeping their stats, levels, items, and upgrades. The resources you collect also carry over , which makes exploration and efficient clearing far more valuable.

Losses matter, resources are tighter, and every upgrade choice has long-term consequences. Build a colony that can endure, not just win the next fight.

Survival Mode is designed for players who want higher stakes, harder decisions, and the tension of a campaign where mistakes follow you.

Key New Features:

• Persistent progression between missions
  Units carry over with their stats, kills, levels, items, and upgrades. Resources carry over too.

• Losses have lasting consequences
  Sacrifice is no longer free. Bad trades weaken your next mission.

• Scarcer economy, harder choices
  Fewer resources means smarter expansion, stricter priorities, and less waste.

• More enemies, higher pressure
  Face increased enemy numbers and tougher resistance across the campaign.

• A fresh strategic layer on top of the base game
  Long-term planning becomes as important as tactical combat.

• A new way to play The Hive
  An alternate ruleset that changes how every mission connects into a single run.
