Into the Forbidden Zone
Into the Forbidden Zone is Dark War Survival’s short, tower-defence-style side mode that unlocks as you progress through Adventure. You access it from your city (look for the small ghost icon above the Warehouse). Each stage asks you to protect your survivor by placing and upgrading defences while managing a simple economy; clears award a steady drip of rubies, speedups, and some resources, with payouts increasing at higher levels.
In play, you build/upgrade turrets and basic income sources to survive waves; early levels are quick, later ones (e.g., the much-discussed level 28) spike in difficulty but pay more—players report rewards like ~200 rubies and ~90×1-minute speedups on that stage. It’s a reliable F2P routine: short sessions, meaningful premium-currency trickle, and no spending required—though it rewards careful placement and timely upgrades.
