“SENTRY aims to create an experience unlike any action tower defense-based game available on Steam, one with a powerful player and intelligent enemies, encapsulating the feeling of a desperate, dynamic campaign defending a spaceship against an overwhelming foe. We firmly believe that the involvement of players is crucial in ensuring the game delivers on that promise.

Early Access is something we used to great effect on our previous title, launching a constant stream of major updates and smaller releases, always incorporating community feedback along the way. We intend to build upon that model with SENTRY, providing updates that add swathes of new content alongside continual improvements to the base game. Our intention is to make you love what you have, but eagerly anticipate what’s to come!”

“Based on our current plans, we expect to be in Early Access for 9-12 months.

That timeline may change depending on the feedback we receive during the Early Access process.”

“During Early Access we plan to add more levels, weapons, traps, turrets and enemies.

A major update focused on two-player co-op is a particularly exciting upcoming feature in the pipeline.

We're also planning a host of additional systems that enhance and expand the experience, all complemented by constant improvements, balancing and bug-fixing.

For more specific details please review our roadmap.”

“Right now you’ll be getting a fun game that lasts for several hours for the majority of players. We’ve found a lot of demo and playtest people have played for much longer, which we see as an encouraging sign!

There are currently 9 weapons, 15 deployables (our name for traps and turrets) and 6 gear items. All are individually upgradeable. You will be facing 10 enemy classes, some carry alternate weapons and some have differing tiers that provide even greater combat variety. You will be defending your ship across 7 levels.

All of this is framed within a dynamic campaign, where you must escape Earth. This takes the form of a Navigator mode where you choose routes to travel through a space map. When you are attacked by enemy vessels, you’re taken to an Overview of your ship. The aliens will attack levels and attempt to take them over. This is where you battle them in the FPS/TD gameplay, and your performance in this mode impacts the other layers. For example, losing a level means the enemy progress further into your ship. All of this gives greater weight to your actions and is a more compelling experience than a traditional linear campaign.

After each major update we’ll expand this section with more detail, but our intention is that whatever point of the Early Access journey you join us, you’ll be getting a supremely enjoyable game that is only going to get bigger and better.”
