It begins off primary, having you rotate weapons and ammunition till all of them match snugly inside. Nevertheless, the sport shortly introduces herbs, the well being meter, and merchandise mixtures for some depth.
Problems are due to this fact sourced from how you will first use the gadgets to revive well being, after which match the remaining ones across the case’s restricted slots. Some weapons will then must be loaded with bullets — thus chopping down on the gadgets you might want to retailer — and any ammo left over might be stacked on high of one another to minimize the burden. Throughout 40 ranges, you will organize this stuff into order throughout various levels of complexity.
