Wave Mode: Once unlocked, select Wave Mode from the main menu and face endless waves of Ghouls. Each wave gets stronger, pushing your skills to the limit as you fend off an increasing onslaught of ghastly foes. Horde Mode: For the ultimate endurance test, Horde Mode never stops. Like Wave Mode, its selectable from the main menu after unlocking. The enemies keep coming with no reprieveyoull need sharp weapons and even sharper wits. Can you hold back the unrelenting horde?
