Death Mode

Death Mode is the 7th Game Mode in Head Soccer. It was added in Update 5.0.

Animations

In Death Mode, there are animations before the death mode starts. There are two characters standing near the left hand side goal line, and two other characters appear and put them in cages, with Colombia watching them. Your selected character does their power shot, and Colombia will use it on you, while doing his own power shot in return. Your character will get the effect of Colombia's power shot, and Colombia walks away. After that, the game starts and the Stadium changes appearance. There are also animations before the 11th and 21st stage. In the one before stage 11, you see your Character defeating three random characters. When your character is going to open the cages, Denmark will appear and he shoots rockets at you with his Rocket Launcher. In the episode before stage 21, you see your character standing at the cages and opening them. However, Greece is behind the cage and uses his Sparta Shot against you.

Description

There are characters in cages (one is typically the opposite gender of your character) and you must play to free these characters from their cages. In each stage, there are some obstacles that every few seconds try to harm you by: stun/damage/kill/electrocute/block/freeze/suck. If you lose Death Mode, you can continue by paying 5,000 points or by watching an add. You can watch videos to continue only 2 times. You can pay to continue 5 times. If you don't pay, your Character will jump into a toilet pot but his head will become stuck in it, and then you will get some points as a reward. In the first 10 stages, every stage you must face three characters: two normal ones and one boss at the end of each stage. In the next 10 stages, there are 3 normal characters and one boss, and in last 10, there are 4 normal characters and one boss. The opponents, at least bosses, are always the same. In boss matches the obstacles are harder (faster/more/don't affect opponent badly).

Playing

Just like in Head Cup, you must pay 5,000 points to play Death Mode, except for Mon-K and Henos for whom the Game Mode is free to start. But just like Fight Mode, you can give up or go into the title screen during match, then play other Game Modes and continue later. You may also choose to continue a game where you have already lost for 5,000 points.

Episodes

In order to unlock Bulgaria, you must collect all keys from all episodes in Death Mode. These are the episodes:

1. You Female. Prisoners male and bosses both.
2. You Male. Prisoners female both.
3. You Male. Prisoners male left, female right.
4. You Male. Prisoners female left, male right.

Reward

The reward you get after winning the Death Mode is 100,000 points. The reward after one match is the number of the stage multiplied by 100. In the boss matches, you'll get the double reward. For example, if you are at stage 18, you'll get 1,800 points in the first three rounds, and 3,600 points in the boss match. As said, you have to pay 5,000 points to start a Death Mode, unless you play as Mon-K. Also, every time you lose a match in Death Mode and want to continue, you'll have to spend 5,000 points more. This means the first time you'll have to pay 5,000 points, and the third time you'll have to pay 15,000 points to continue. You have five lives, after that it's definitively game over; however, you earn 1,000 points for every stage you completed. That means if you complete the 5th stage and lose at the 6th, you earn 5,000 points, or complete the 25th stage and lose at the 26th, you earn 25,000 points.

Tips and Tricks

The best character to use in Death Mode is Qatar. His air shot actually makes the scoring projectiles (incluing the real ball) spawn near the opponent's goal which avoids nearly every obstacles. His ground shot also works well in Death Mode due to the high knock back generated by the high amount of missiles shot which will make this power unstoppable for most opponents but also due to the fact it contains 3 scoring projectiles thrown in diagonal and straight line which is strategically good to avoid obstacles. He also has a powerform that makes him nearly cover the entire goal which is practical if you want to avoid conceding goals

Kenya and Norway work fine as well, because you can move with Norway and avoid the obstacles, and Kenya's airshot bypasses obstacles, these are also good against CPUs. Roughly the same applies for Thailand. His aerial shot may be less effective, but he has a good ground shot. This means that you can choose if you are going to use a high or low power shot. Other characters that are effective are South Africa, India, and Hong Kong. Mon-K's air shot is another one that will score most of the time in Death Mode. For Tips and Tricks regarding individual stages, look at the Tips and Tricks section on the page of that stage or take a look at our Death Mode Guide.
