Death and Glory - User Documentation

You must survive against waves of enemies to earn glory. The more waves you do consecutively the more glory you can get. Killing multiple enemies in succession will also give  you more glory but increase the risk of death. Use your glory to level up your character and buy ammo while balancing the progression of leveling up and completing waves.
