About the game
The Mission
Villages across the land are under siege. As a lone warrior you must cut through every enemy — from Mmawu scouts lurking in the forest to the warlord Zuzugu commanding burning villages. No retreat. No mercy.
Masque Raiders is a side-scrolling mobile action game built in Unity. Progress through multiple levels, each ending with a boss encounter. Defeat all bosses to liberate the land and claim victory.
Stages & Enemies
The Enemy Forces
🌲 Stage 1 — The Forest
Face Mmawu scouts and DarkMmawu warriors across three escalating levels. The forest boss is Entembe.
🔥 Stage 2 — The Villages
Entembe's fallen fighters now join Mmawu as pawns. The warlord Zuzugu commands them all.
⚔️ Wave System
Each level sends randomised waves of enemies. Clear every wave to trigger the boss encounter.
