The early 2000s. After the collapse of the USSR, no unified state rose in its place. Scattered groups survive in the ruins of the former republics — each with their own order, codes, and morality. A global resource shortage has turned these lands into a magnet for marauders from across the world. Power belongs only to those who can hold it.

Lost Lives is a 2D side-scrolling shooter where you explore procedurally generated locations, fight AI and other players, collect loot and develop your character. The game features multiple modes set in post-Soviet locations, different enemy factions, a variety of weapons, and dynamic weather.

Features:

• Five game modes. Co-op against bots for 1–4 players, Deathmatch PvP, Gun Game, Team Deathmatch, and Endless waves of enemies.

• Procedural generation. Location layouts, loot placement, AI behavior, and time of day vary between sessions on select maps.

• NATO and Warsaw Pact weaponry. Different recoil, accuracy, and handling characteristics. Armor-piercing rounds, grenades, and modifications.

• Looting. Find items from the Soviet and post-Soviet era to sell or trade for better gear.

• Gear. Body armor, helmets, and backpacks of various classes. Armor level and ammunition type determine the outcome of a fight.

• Advanced AI. Bots act situationally: they advance, retreat, take cover, surrender, heal, use grenades, and operate in groups.

• Factions. Several groups with their own interests and backstories.

• Daily tasks. Objectives refresh every day, with rewards contributing to overall progression.

• Leaderboards. Separate PvE and PvP rankings with seasons.

• Weather and time of day. Dynamic conditions: day-night cycle, rain, fog.

• Character customization. Clothing and cosmetic items unlock as you progress.

• Voice chat. Proximity chat for talking to nearby players, plus a radio mode for team communication.

• No aggressive monetization. No loot boxes, no battle passes, no gear for real money.
