Stage 2 and 3 start on 0% chance and that slowly gets bigger.

Higher stages get more common through the game and give more reward but are also more dangerous.

*Quick note that i have now severely changed the robots story: They are space robots that run on a space crystal (Octanum Units) and the new currency is octanum fragments. (It used to be robot circuits. Added 3/08/2023) You can make your own robot by obtaining the units. the Stages have colours; Stage 1 (blue), Stage 2 (purple), Stage 3 (orange), Elite (marroon), Dooms (dark red).*

Stage 1: A scout (Activates the Araus if not destroyed), 3 attackers, 3 distractions.

Stage 2: 5 attackers, 3 distractions, 2 special.

Stage 3: 5 attackers, 5 distractions, 3 special.

Elite: 10 attackers, 5 distractions, 5 special.

Dooms: 23 attackers, 16 distractions, 10 special.

In total there are: 10 bosses, 108

The Araus (By itself): This is short, but the Araus is a magical crystal that was mined from meteorites that was used as a sheild for towns durins wars, granting abilities and a massive bubble like defense. It's energy has drawn the Abarrent to earth. The redeemers need it to survive the apocalypse, so they must defend it and in story mode, get rid of it.

Waves: shortly explained in the enemies section, enemy spawning rate gets more common as you progress.

There will be random special stellar events, which are waves but they are more to help the player after or during waves. rarely during few waves, small meteorites hit the ground and you can collect these during waves (there will be more to collect during the waves) or wait until after the wave, but there will be less meteorites.

Open world: Hell yeah! Open world is awesome. There is so much to explain so let's do it!

Ok, so, I have 2 main ideas: Open world exloration can only be explored when the Araus is shielding or you can explore whenever. I dont know yet. (But if you can only exploe when it is shielding then that means meteorites must be changed. Added 4/08/2023.)
