What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Anathyma is in a playable state, but only a small percentage of the planned content has been implemented. With Early Access, we can use player feedback to make our future designs better and more well-balanced.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Anathyma will be in Early Access for around 2 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan for the full version of Anathyma includes more content in the form of new gamemodes, more story missions, and more game content (Units, Towers, Skills and Maps), enriching the current gameplay loop.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Anathyma is a playable game, with a story mode and skirmish modes with fully functional gameplay sessions. The player currently has 10 towers, 4 Actives, 8 Passives and 9 Weapons to choose from, with many more options to play around as we implement more content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“With each major update, the game's price will be slightly increased.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are looking forward to receiving player feedback and designing future content accordingly. Tower Defense game balancing is always on a knife's edge, and community playtesting will be incredibly helpful in ensuring the game is as well-balanced as possible. Make sure to talk to us on the Steam forums or the Discord server!”

About This Game

Take control of a mighty champion in a cursed medieval realm from a top-down perspective, building and upgrading towers to fend off waves of relentless enemies. Play solo or join friends in online co‐op in this hero tower‐defense adventure.

Hero‐Driven Action Meets Strategic Defense

Experience a hybrid of real‐time hero combat and tactical tower defense. Directly control your champion in the heat of battle, swinging weapons or casting powerful abilities while strategically reinforcing your defenses. Each choice you make - from movement to ability timing - reshapes the battlefield.

Build Towers, Command the Battlefield

Construct up to 10 distinct tower types to create your ideal defensive layout. Balance your defense, offense and economy as you upgrade towers to unlock deeper strategic options. Position towers tactically to dominate the battlefield.

Multiple Modes, Tactical Variety

Complete different objectives in the two different gamemodes available:

  • Classic Mode: Defend against ever‐stronger waves in traditional tower defense fashion.

  • Breakthrough Mode: Wage a tug‐of‐war battle, expanding territory as you and your own waves fight against the enemies' until their base falls.

Hero Customization & Loadouts

Wield 2 from a variety of weapons - bows to close‐combat blades - and equip your hero with active and passive skills and abilities that enhance your playstyle. Whether you prioritize mobility, damage output, defense and utility for allies or tower support, there’s a build for every strategy.

Play with Friends

Rally up with up to 8 players in a coop session, exploring different builds to find powerful synergies and unleash unique combinations in battle.
