Last week, indie game publisher RodentGames released a demo on Steam to ignite interest in their new title, Artificer’s Tower. The resource manager and colony sim game will be RodentGame’s first title, inspired by games like Fallout Shelter.
Artificer’s Tower is not slated for a full release until next year, but the development team is eager to prep prospective mages. They want players to start building their towers, overseeing the development of their mages, and preparing to confront the first boss. The demo is now live on Steam, providing an excellent opportunity for players to dive in and begin readying their towers for the upcoming battles.
Artificer’s Tower is more than just tower defense
In the heat of fending off gruesome goblin assaults on your tower, it’s crucial not to overlook an essential element - the mages. These mages form the linchpin of your defense. Ensuring they receive fair wages and ample entertainment is key; after all, a content mage is the cornerstone of a flourishing tower.
You can empower your mages to craft gear and equip potent robes and wands. They also acquire spells, and you can personalize their knowledge to bolster your tower’s defenses. It’s vital to focus on your mages, providing them with the necessary resources to grow and thrive. This investment will, in turn, ensure the prosperity of your tower.
Here are some of the key features for Artificer’s Tower:
- Build Your Dream Tower: Be the architect you’ve always dreamed of and build your mage tower however you see fit. Add rooms for your mage’s to learn, create traps, enchant weapons, create potions and more.
- Defend Your Home: There’s always someone out to try and steal your magic! Fend off enemies using traps and spells and watch them drop like flies.
- Manage and Train Your Mages: Keep your tower running efficiently by keeping your mages happy. Pay them generous wages, fulfill their needs, keep them entertained, and your wizarding empire will thrive.
- Craft New Materials: Start with simple recipes and work your way towards complex crafting chains as your mages advance in their studies.</il>
- Summon Bosses: Even the nastiest creatures wish to wipe your mages off the map. Summon powerful bosses each with their own army of followers. Show off the strength of your tower and its mages to take them down. </ul>
The Artificer’s Tower demo is now live on Steam. It will be an experience of spellcasting, defeating goblins, managing aspiring mages, and building the most magnificent tower. Players can embark on new journeys as they enjoy the blend of resource managing and colony building.
Each strategic act forwards the enchanting adventure in the magical setting of Artificer’s Tower, and it will release in Q2 2024.
