Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode is a feature that made its first appearance in Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions.

Adventure mode is played across a large map featuring a large host of different three-dimensional maps featuring multiple game types, some of which are not included in Classic Mode.

The mode is inspired by the Galaxy mode featured in Geometry Wars: Galaxies, and some elements have been borrowed and improved upon.

Two features similar to this mode would later be added in the Evolved update, these are known as Ultimate Mode and Hardcore Mode and contain many of the features and adding both new levels and newer ways to play.

Features

The most noticeable feature of Adventure mode is that for the first time, the series feature fully 3D levels, these levels come in many different shapes and sizes and changes the gameplay dramatically, some levels might be split in half by a wall, and some might even change the longer a game progresses.

Most levels feature so called Super States, these are power-ups have the unique appearance of multiple small dots that together form a shape, these must be destroyed in order to get the super state. Each different shape gives the player a different ship upgrade, these range from a shield that gives the player invulnerability, to a pulse that destroys nearby enemies on contact.

The player can also equip the ship with multiple different Drones, these help the player by performing different actions, such as collecting Geoms and increasing firepower. There are also so called Supers, different abilities given to the ship itself, these abilities range from homing missiles, to stationary turrets, these can be used alongside the bombs given to the player.

There are 50 levels total in Adventure mode, featuring a total of 150 stars to collect, the game modes that are unique to this game mode will be listed and explained separately on their own page. All levels form a straight path on the map so no levels can be skipped, therefore the player must earn at least one star in any level in order to proceed, these levels are all listed in order below.

Many levels are based on classic game modes from previous games, but these often have a special caveat or feature not seen in classic gameplay, for example, some levels of Deadline feature special timers, e.g 2 minutes instead of the usual 3.

The map is divided into 6 different parts, each featuring their own Boss level, in order to complete one such level, the Boss itself must be killed, the final score does not count whatsoever if this condition is not met.
