I've watched a couple Raid gameplay videos, but not sure I really understanding the concept behind it (I see that you get levels or something.) Anyone care to explaing? Thanks!
Well here's how it went in the 3DS version.
The campaign has no co op storyline, even though for most of it your paired with an AI partner (don't worry - you don't even notice your partner there half the time)
After completing the storyline you would have unlocked all "raid mode" missions.
Raid mode is basically campaign levels (without cutscenes), bits of levels or levels turned-horde mode-Ish.
There's 20 levels of raid mode with 3 difficulties.
Every single raid mode mission can be played on multiplayer
There are some differences though:
1. You can view enemy health
2. Your characters and enemy characters have levels, which determine how strong they are and their health. Your melee moves power up with higher levels and grant you the ability to use higher level gun requirements.
3. Sometimes enemies have certain powerups detailed by a certain symbol beside their health.
Symbols are:
Orange fist = enemy has more attack power (beware strong enemies with this)
Green shield = enemy had more defence
Blue man = the enemy moves alot faster, scagdeads with this should be feared
Purple crown = boss enemy (usually a mixture of the above)
In addition, these enemies usually have another trait to match the symbol.
Fist + shield enemies are usually a lot larger and fast enemies are usually always alot smaller
4. This mode has rare weapon unlocks and attachments to add more fun
5. There's a truckload of characters you can play who have unique traits, weather that's their proficiency with weapons or their melee moves
6. "Ghost ship" the bonus stage is the ultimate test.
You can basically explore the whole ship looking for the "real exit"
Lets just say your gonna meet every enemy and be swarmed by alot. The difficulty starts with lvl 1 enemies but the closer you get to the real end you will start seeing up to lvl 50 enemies - and unless you grind the other levels for better guns you shouldn't attempt this.
7. Infected and wanted missions: when you play with someone, via street pass you will see in your "missions" optio. That they have left a message. This message will vary in what it says but a general description is
That they died/became infected.
What level it happened
And a reward for killing them
All you do is go on the level they detail, find them (they're name will be on a random enemy ((usually with a buff symbol))
Kill them and complete the level. Go to your missions section and select it to win your prize
Also in this will be missions to kill asset number of a certain enemy type to win BP points which can be spent in the shop for other upgrades, ammo, guns and attachments.
In terms of the console version coming out, they're will be some changes
1. More enemies (2 confirmed so far, 1 of which is exclusive to raid mode)
2. More characters (2 confirmed so far ((hunk and Rachael))
3. Possibly new difficulty with randomised enemy locations
4. Re.net content
5. Possible future dlc
All in all it's really fun with a friend
Or mostly any co op partner
