An upcoming mix of motion roguelike and tower protection referred to as Acid Planet will drop you on a ruined world along with your weapons, your wits, and a really outstanding variety of drones and automatic gun turrets. Your opposition is a seemingly-endless horde of mutated monsters led by gigantic, stompy kaiju.
It is superb for those who die, although: You are an expendable commercially-grown clone working for a company overlord.
“Acid Planet is a Strategic Wave-Protection sport with parts of Motion Roguelike, RTS and Horde-Survival. It is a sport for individuals who like constructing, technique, fast runs, risk-reward trade-offs and battles on an epic scale,” says developer Adam Travers.
Over the course of enemy assault waves you will construct up an economic system and layers of tower defenses and a swarm of non-public drones with the intention to preserve the risk away and construct up functionality. The purpose, in fact, is to take down the eventual big kaiju that come to stomp you and retrieve one thing referred to as a “kaiju core” which I can solely assume is ripped from the beast’s still-warm corpse.
Acid Planet has that chunky pixel model that I prefer to see on this style and what at first look is a good number of stuff to construct: Items and weapons within the restricted screenshots out now embody stuff like scout drones, swords, rockets, shields, flamethrowers, barricades, ammo foundries, mine-laying towers, and explosive bomb drones.
You will discover Acid Planet on Steam, the place it is going to launch on Could 7, 2024. It has an upcoming free demo resulting from drop on February 29, 2024. It is developed by solo indie Adam Travers.
