League Of Legends – Anima Squad

Swarm | Operation: Anima Squad is a deeply replayable, bullet heaven survivor PvE game mode set within the world of Anima Squad. Swarm | Operation: Anima Squad parties of up to four players to battle waves upon waves of Primordian forces. Win or lose, each run will help players become stronger the next time they hit the battlefield. Players can grab up to three of their friends and choose from a roster of elite Anima Squad members and fight together as humanity's last hope against the Primordians. With a WASD control scheme, players will run around in a brand new map of Final City, mowing down enemies, completing missions, and surviving as long as they possibly can.

As the battle unfolds, players can unlock and upgrade powerful weapons and new Anima Squad members to help defeat the swarms of enemies coming to take over and mix up their strategy. Players can work to permanently strengthen themselves, match over match, by purchasing Power Ups with gold earned in each game. These Power Ups grant permanent buffs to give the team an edge in future field operations, so players can progress further and further in each match.

From the rising seas, ancient life emerges. Primordians–the planet's white blood cells–harbingers of the next evolution event. Their prime directive: extinguish humanity. The Primordian threat has pushed civilization to the brink. For years, tribes of survivors hid in the darkness, resigned to annihilation. Out of the ashes of our world, Final City was born and Anima Squad, Final City's elite task force of superpowered warriors armed with re-engineered Primordian technology, leads the dawn of a new human resistance, fighting for organic life.
