What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Games with procedurally generated elements and varied upgrade paths are notoriously difficult to balance. We've had great input so far from the community but we need plenty more feedback and support to get it just right.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the game will be in Early Access for 6-12 months.”

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

“Plans for the full version include:

A greater variety of outposts and upgrades
Automated battle drones!
Time-distortion weaponry!
New enemies, bosses and attack mechanics
Daily challenges

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version includes enough upgrades and challenges keep new players interested for several hours, or days — one of our beta testers has personally clocked in over 100 hours already. Utopia Must Fall will keep you coming back for 'just one more game'.”

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

“The game's price will be slightly increased on 1.0 launch.”

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

“Through heavy interaction with players on Steam and Discord forums.”

About This Game

Utopia Must Fall is a vector-flavored base-defending arcade shooter with rapid progression, procedurally generated attack waves and enough upgrade variety to suit both the defensive or aggressive player.

It incorporates elements from tower defense, roguelites and beyond, all neatly packaged into a laser-sharp bullet-purgatory arcade frenzy!

Easy To Learn: firing happens automatically, just steer the city's turret and launch the occasional sky-clearing nuclear warhead. Each day of survival is rewarded with an upgrade for your defenses, choose wisely to keep humanity alive for as long as possible.
Sizable Upgrade Tree: progress is fast and allows you to pick strategies to suit your playing style — beef up your rail gun into a multi-barrel death machine, strengthen your shield's auto defense abilities, deploy and configure an array of automated laser turrets, or go all out on aggression and see out Utopia's final days with a stockpile of nukes and a shotgun the size of a building.
Arcade-Focused: there is no meta-progression — in Utopia Must Fall, all universes are created equal, and death is final. Earn upgrades and unlock new abilities by completing mini-challenges as you defend the city. Get good to get the good stuff!
Laser-Shiny: built with our brand-new V99 graphics engine, bringing you the retro-modern vector arcade style you didn't know you needed yet.
Darkly Humorous: the world is ending soon, what else is there left to do but laugh?
Affordable: reasonably priced to help offset the unreasonable cost of everything else.
