An upcoming mix of motion roguelike and tower protection known as Acid Planet will drop you on a ruined world along with your weapons, your wits, and a really exceptional variety of drones and automatic gun turrets. Your opposition is a seemingly-endless horde of mutated monsters led by gigantic, stompy kaiju.
It is fantastic should you die, although: You are an expendable commercially-grown clone working for a company overlord.
“Acid Planet is a Strategic Wave-Protection sport with components 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 so as to hold the risk away and construct up functionality. The objective, in fact, is to take down the eventual large kaiju that come to stomp you and retrieve one thing known as a “kaiju core” which I can solely assume is ripped from the beast’s still-warm corpse.
Acid Planet has that chunky pixel type that I prefer to see on this style and what at first look is a good number of stuff to construct: Models 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’ll find Acid Planet on Steam, the place it’s 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.
