Spoilers ahead for all seven districts, their bosses and what each victory unlocks. To discover the story as you play, open only the walkthrough for the district you've reached.
The campaign starts in a familiar courtyard, then changes both its surroundings and its rules. One district asks you to fill a zone meter. In another, enemy groups control barriers. Later, arriving at the boss arena is what matters. Check the current objective before clearing every corner.
The seven districts
| District | Boss | Victory crystals | What opens next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential District | Hobo Dad | 5 | Construction Site |
| Construction Site | Drunk Foreman | 10 | Forest |
| Forest | Great Dark Boar | 40 | Castle of Legend |
| Castle of Legend | Rift Guardian | 50 | Stone Passage, more ways to play as Create, and the Arena |
| Stone Passage | King of the Forgotten | 30 | Neon District |
| Neon District | Cyberpsycho | 50 | Above the System, and the option to buy Cyberpunk and Cyberpsycho for the Arena |
| Above the System (rooftops) | The Chosen | 60 | The option to buy The Chosen for the Arena |
The tutorial appears on the same map as a separate introduction. Arena fighters unlocked for purchase still cost crystals. Repeating a district and defeating its boss earns the victory crystals again.
Before entering a new district
Check your permanent campaign upgrades and save status. Those upgrades help future attempts. Combat XP, selected temporary bonuses and consumables belong to their run. The crystal balance is shared across runs.
For a first playthrough, follow the objective on screen. Counting kills from someone else's video can be misleading, particularly at the Construction Site, where specific groups control the barriers, or in the Neon District, where entering the final square triggers the boss.
After the castle, you can revisit the first three districts as Create. Stone Passage doesn't carry over that replay choice. You'll play Cyberpunk in the Neon District and Above the System. Check your current actions when the campaign switches heroes.
Reading the walkthroughs
Each walkthrough covers entry requirements, the route, boss mechanics and victory rewards. Adapt the suggested tactics to your upgrades and position. Your build, optional fights and familiarity with the route all affect completion time. Read in campaign order if you're following the story: characters and earlier decisions return in later districts.
