Tips for new players:
1. Food is a finite resource and heals for 40 HP, maximize your health by picking them up only when needed. Dont eat food when you have 90 HP for example.
2. Chests have a chance to heal, among other outcomes, but take a chance at healing at a chest before using the food.
3. Do not engage every enemy you see immediately. You will need to run from them spread them out while keeping an eye on your health, making sure to heal when needed.
4. Pace yourself, on later levels collecting runestones too quickly may overwhelm you with enemies before you can reach a health pickup or chest.
5. Purchase Perks and Hire Mercs, no need to save the gold.
6. Pick up as much gold as you can find early, affording a perk at the first Camp can be a game changer.
7. When you pick up a survivor, they will take enemy damage when taking them to the exit. It may be wise to take out some enemies before interacting with them, as the survivors only have 25 HP.
8. Keep survivors alive, you will be rewarded if you save all 4.
