Patch 1.0.2.1 LEADERBOARD has been reset due to some exploit fixes and scaling changes. Grab the top spot quick! Gameplay · A new structure affix, Generated, has been added. Generated Structures sell for 0 Refined-Metal. This is only for certain upgrades that can be exploited for infinite Refined-Metal. This affix is separate from Structure Mods.

Patch 1.0.1.2 Balance The purpose of most of these balance changes is not to reduce power from fire-rate as all upgrades have had a suitable increase in other areas. However stacking fire-rate was causing issues at the top end of Endless mode. Essentially you could have towers that could fire dozens of times per frame which was causing extreme instability. · Tower Overcharge - Fire rate increas…

In Axom: Conquest, Structure mods are a feature that can be applied to almost any building. Towers, hazards, economy structures, and defences can all receive modifiers, and each modifier changes how the structure behaves. Each modifier has a unique effect. Some increase stats, some add new mechanics, and some come with drawbacks. Because modifiers are universal, the result depends on what struc…

Hello friends After thinking about it carefully, I’ve decided to move the release of Axom: Conquest to Q2 2026. The game is already in a playable state, but it’s not quite up to the standard I want for launch yet. I want to spend more time adding content and systems so the game feels as replayable, complete, and polished as possible. I’d love to be working on Axom full-time, but with my current…

Major Changes · NEW UPGRADE ALGORITHM - Every upgrade now has hidden tags that influence the appearances of future upgrades. So, for example if you pick an upgrade that makes random towers appear, you will more often find another upgrade that does something whenever a tower is built. This means synergies are easier to find. However the system is capped on how much influence it can have so it on…

User Interface · Dragging AURA’s dialogue box i…
Patch 0.9.1.0 General · Due to the significance of some of these changes the Leaderboard has been reset (Grab the top spot quick!)

We've been hard at work covering every single piece of feedback from the demo and implementing into this patch. This has a few sweeping changes such as the removal of ramps to create more chokepoints (Which seems right for a tower defence game) We would love to hear your thoughts on what can be changed or improved even more. Thank you! UI Improvements · Upgrade and Building Text · Increased siz…
We're happy to announce that the new amazing demo is coming out this month, with a whole shedload of new features and cool stuff. Look out for it soon! Don't Step on the Sand! One of the new things in Axom: Conquest this month is this horrible fellow which the science team has dubbed the "Brood Worm" While looking horrifying it serves a dual purpose in that it is the source of the enemies you f…
