CP Noire Wave Rewards

What are Wave Rewards - Info drop #2

‍

We will keep this explanation short and straight to the point, telling you exactly what you need to know about Wave Rewards in Cosmic Paradox: Noire

These rewards are an integral part of the gameplay loop, so it’s definitely worth knowing more about them before diving into other mechanics.

We’re pretty sure that most of you already know what defines a wave within a video game. Our description would be: number of enemies within a certain segment.

In our title, once you destroy every enemy ship in a single wave, you will receive a Wave Reward. Wave Rewards range from useful to downright essential, making them a high priority. As all of them are technically missable, players will have to go out of their way to try and defeat every enemy as often as possible. It might not be worth it every time as, in certain instances,  avoiding a potentially fatal encounter could be beneficial in the long run. The choice will, of course, depend on the circumstance and capabilities of every individual.

Wave Rewards overview

Here is every Wave Reward that you can earn, along with a short description.

Credits - The most important Wave Reward. Credits are used to purchase upgrades and new ships from the Armory, making them a vital part of progression. Unlike other Wave Rewards, Credits are stackable, meaning that whatever Credits you earned during a single run will be added to your total. This includes Credits earned during failed attempts as well.

Health - Self-explanatory. Earning a health reward will restore your health by the amount specified, allowing you to stay in the fight for longer. Bear in mind that health restoration is limited by your maximum health.

Rampage - A power-up ability that will double your rate of fire while active, allowing you to deal devastating damage. Rampage is bound to change the outcome of a fight, so use it wisely. It can be earned up to three times during a level.

Shield - Another power-up ability. While active, it will protect you from all incoming damage, but it will prevent you from firing your laser. The shield can still be used as an offensive ability since it is possible to directly ram into enemy ships, which will instantly destroy regular enemies and damage bosses. Every collision will lower the duration of the shield, so keep that in mind.
