Let Them Come Guide - How to survive against overwhelming odds

Posted by Campbell Bird on January 13th, 2018

Let Them Come is all about making it as far as possible against overwhelming odds. Check out some of these tips to help you last a little longer in your unwinnable fight:

Shoot the small stuff

There’s a huge variety of alien scum to mow down in Let Them Come, but one of the trickiest to deal with can be the Spiderling. These tiny little guys may not look like much, but they can end your run quickly if you don’t spot them and kill them on sight. Melee weapons can be effective once Spiderlings get close, but waves feel easier if you take them out from a distance with a few rounds.

You have to spend money to make money

Between deaths in Let Them Come, you can buy all kinds of upgrades, and you should never waste an opportunity to buy something. Most upgrades will get you further in the game’s Campaign Mode, regardless of whether it fits your particularly playstyle or not, and getting further leads you to more money. Just do it.

Don’t invest too heavily in consumables

Some of Let Them Come’s upgrades unlock special ammunition or explosives, which you have to buy more of over time. Trying to refill all of your special ammo supplies constantly can exhaust your funds and keep you from getting new and improved upgrades, which is something you should try to avoid.

Undo the upgrades

If you’re playing Let Them Come in Campaign Mode and you are unsure of whether you’ll like a certain upgrade or not, don’t worry about it! At any time between rounds, you can open up your upgrade screen and sell back any and every upgrade you purchase and get a full refund. The only exception to this is consumable items. You can’t sell back what you already used, so be careful!
