What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“HexaScape: Cyber Defense is meant to be a basic framework that allows our players to tell their own stories in cyberspace. With feedback from our community, we want to continue to improve and expand the project.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're planning an Early Access period of 9 to 12 months.”

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

“For the full version of HexaScape: Cyber Defense, we want to add new content, new features and expand the editor. But most of all, we want to implement the feedback from our community. Do you want a multiplayer or new game modes? Help us make HexaScape your game!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes several game modes: 15 scenarios, an endless mode, weekly challenges and an editor mode to create your own maps.”

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

“Our plan is to gradually increase the price as we release more content and features.”

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

Reviews

“HexaScape: Cyber Defense takes the classic elements of titles like Carcassonne and Dorfromantik. While mixing this with the strategic depth of tower defense, such as Rogue Tower. But it has a twist! This title introduces a unique way that computer viruses attack your territory, making each playthrough exciting and challenging.”
Linux Game Consortium

“Don't run away, it's excellent. [...] At last, a tower defense game that has made an impression on me since Defense Grid in 2008!”

About This Game

Make yourself comfortable, put on your headphones, and get ready to conquer cyberspace! HexaScape: Cyber Defense is an addictive mix of hex grid puzzler and tower defense mechanics, creating a compelling turn-based strategy game.

Board game-like mechanics

If you know the board game classic Carcassonne, you’ll instantly feel at home in HexaScape. Players determine the course of the game by placing hexagon tiles: they explore cyberspace, expand the influence of the cyber core, and build a defense line with towers that can be strengthened and upgraded by power clusters.

As you increase the core’s reach, virus spawners will appear. They spawn viruses and grow stronger with each wave – unless you manage to disable them. Each run feels different: The more you expand into cyberspace, the more abilities the viruses can take on, testing your ability to constantly adapt to new game conditions.

Build unique towers

Cyber towers are your only defence against viruses. Place them wisely, buff them with power fields, upgrade them with new abilities by completing quests, and use skill points to customize them to your needs.

Explore cyberspace

By placing the hex tiles, you explore cyberspace, encountering six different biomes, many different events, and virus bosses hidden on the generator tiles. There’s a campaign with predefined scenarios, an endless mode with procedurally generated maps, maps of the week, and user-generated maps for nearly endless fun!

Create your own maps

Create custom maps for new challenges with the powerful editor! Determine where biomes, event fields, and boss fields are located, and add your own story. Play your maps yourself or share them with the community.
