All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

These enhancements and updates were made possible largely due to valuable feedback from the amazing community. You have our deepest gratitude.

Update V01.07.22 - 23/Jun/2018:

This update has a number of adjustments to address any "grinding" in the game

  • By default all level 1 towers now unlocked
  • Energy costs for research significantly reduced in some cases by 90%
  • Energy costs unlocking and deploying blueprints slightly reduced
  • Starting energy given to a new player profile reduced by 50% as all costs are significantly lower
  • VSync enabled to resolve any screen tearing.
  • Frame rate capped at monitor refresh rate which is usually 60 fps. This is to avoid wasting GPU usage where not necessary
  • Music is now muted when the tutorial window is opened so as not to interfere with the tutorial videos.
  • Units and Towers Encyclopedia readability of various stats is improved significantly
  • New Blueprint "Pandora" Added. This is a large sized mazing blueprint for very complex custom strategies.
