Behold...MADNESS!
This rundown has been designed to provide a mostly vanilla experience while still providing unique twists on objective types. There are currently 14 expeditions spanning A-tier to C-tier (with more to come!), each designed to gradually introduce the player to new mechanics so the later levels can elevate them to insane degrees. Each tier will more or less get progressively more difficult the further you explore.
MADNESS is mostly made for enjoyment and not for the story, but perhaps you may find some story elements the further you descend. While this rundown does not delve into the deep side of the modding scene (custom enemies/guns and the like), there are a few non-standard mechanics present as you make your descent.
