Continuing to kill enemies is not enough to reach safety. Gather supplies or move on before the danger grows? Deciding how much to risk along the escape route gives the tactics their tension.
What makes it fun
Loot or leave?
A detour to a supply crate can help your crew, but the rats keep closing in. Do you grab the supplies or push on toward the bunker? The choice adds tension to each fight.
A new squad, a new plan
Combining character abilities and group skills changes how your crew handles a swarm. A different lineup gives you new ways to coordinate in the next fight.
