❤ Building and Fortress Design

Players can construct fortifications brick-by-brick, carefully planning the layout and taking advantage of the 3D terrain to create multi-tiered, optimized defensive positions. The building mechanics encourage strategic thinking, as players must consider structural integrity, load-bearing columns, and the interplay between different building components to create sturdy and effective fortifications. Players can design and save custom blueprints, as well as download and use community-created blueprints, enabling them to experiment and implement complex and unique fortress designs.

❤ Resource Management and Progression

Players must balance the need to gather resources, such as wood and stone, to expand their fortress and unlock new technologies, with the imperative to defend against the relentless hordes of Horrors. The progression system rewards players with tech points after each wave, incentivizing efficient resource utilization and strategic planning. As players unlock new building options and unit upgrades, they can adapt their fortresses to meet the growing threat, creating a satisfying sense of progression and advancement.

❤ Tactical Unit Placement and Positioning

The game's units, which range from sharp-shooting archers to explosive cannoneers, each have unique strengths and weaknesses that players must consider when positioning them within their fortress. The elevation-based bonuses and abilities of these units encourage players to design their fortifications with strategic placement in mind, creating tiered defensive systems that maximize the effectiveness of their troops. Careful coordination of unit abilities and positioning is essential to fending off the diverse array of Horrors that players will face.

❤ Procedural and Replayable Content

The endless mode features procedurally generated maps, providing players with a highly replayable experience. The random terrain and layout of these maps, combined with the game's robust building and unit mechanics, ensure that each playthrough presents unique challenges and opportunities for players to devise new strategies and fortress designs. The inclusion of a comprehensive map editor further extends the game's replayability, allowing players to create and share their own custom scenarios and challenges with the community.
