"DI: Debt is Inevitable" is a wave-based rougelike FPS where in between waves you visit a shop with prices that increase with each purchase/rental.
Keep your combo high and grab as many coins as you can, and you can delay the inevitable.

Each wave will feature larger quantities of enemies, where you must keep a high combo and grab as many coins as you can in order to maximize your profits each round.
Memorization of the level's waves and mastering each weapon, passive, and consumable are also key to delaying the inevitable.
Completion of the final wave will just restart it from the beginning, but twice as chaotic as before.
You cannot escape your demise.

The shop contains everything you need to help you survive, at prices you cannot afford.
Here, you can find all of your necessities, like health, weapons, armor, consumables, powerups, and passive upgrades.
Passive upgrades can change anything, like give enemies a chance to gib on death, or change your bullets to deal poison damage.
You can also stack multiple of the same passive item to get an increased effect.
Many items in the shop are rentals only, which means the item will be removed from your inventory the moment the next wave is completed.
Purchases from the shop will increase that item's future prices, so if you're not careful, you may soon find yourself with empty pockets, and a mountain full of debt.
-= THE FUN NEVER ENDS =-
Spoiler: here's some screenshots to look at, though they're a bit outdatedYour deaths and failures in DI will not be in vain, as each run will help you unlock new levels, characters, items, and mechanics that will be available in future runs.
Every level you unlock comes with it's own unique set of enemies, shops, gimmicks, and random events to help make each run different.
Each unlock that you acquire can change the way you play the game dramatically.
And if there's an unlocked item that you end up disliking, you can blacklist the item to prevent it from appearing in future runs.
There's no shortage of things to discover in DI.
