About This Game



Garden Apocalypse is an Action/RPG with Tower Defense and Gardening elements. This epic adventure takes place on a strange alien desert world called "Gardenia", fighting for resources and survival against a relentless army of mutant insects called The Swarm. Build structures, mine resources, and craft essential ammunition and magic potions required to conquer the Swarm Queen and restore balance to a dying world.


Choose from a wide variety of ranged and melee weapons to fight The Swarm and defend your crops. Enemies will drop key resources, depending on the weapon used to defeat them.

Gardenians are your allies, who act as stationary defense towers. Destroy Swarm eggs before they hatch to acquire Swarm Stem Cells - a necessary component in crafting Gardenian seeds.

Craft seeds by mining or crafting essential minerals. Once harvested, your crops can be used to replenish health or crafted into magic potions, required for casting spells.

Magic spells are crucial to counter massive Swarm armies and unlock new areas as the player progresses. Only magic can defeat the "Swarm Queens", making gardening an essential activity to craft potions.

Magic is required to unlock and reactivate several ancient temples across the world. These dungeons are full of large swarms, puzzles, loot and more. Each temple is also connected through a vast underground network of tunnels. 

Level up > Learn new spells > Grow crops > Craft crops into magic potions > Reactivate temples and restore balance to the world.
