Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Launching MK-Ultra Psychic Defense in early access will give me the level of feedback needed to properly calibrate the roguelite elements of the game. Rogue lites require fine tuned adjustments throughout their development in order to ensure the game is in its most playable state and that the decisions the player is making are actually compelling and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“MK-Ultra Psychic Defense is going to be in Early Access somewhere between six months to a year as that is the amount of time I believe it will take to give the game its final level of polish.”

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

“MK-Ultra Psychic Defense aims to give people a psychedelic conspiracy themed single player arcade rogue-lite tower defense experience.

Features I plan to add include but may not be limited to.
  • Unique character dialogues during boon selection with fully voiced characters
  • A meta progression system that lets players spend a resource collected in the main game mode. Upon spending this resource the player will gain power ups making future runs easier.
  • Improved enemy wave spawning with a greater variety of spawn-able enemies
  • New Boons that when unlocked mid run can change the behavior and synergies of towers.
  • A tutorial
  • Steam Achievements
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of MK-Ultra Psychic Defense has the following features fully implemented.
  • A proceduraly generated ever expanding tower defense grid/path system
  • 13 fully implemented tower types
  • 8 Different enemy types each with unique behaviors
”

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

“No, the price will remain the same as it was in early access once the game has reached full release.”

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

“Each update is inspired by your feedback. Share your thoughts in our Early Access Q&A or with me directly on insta @nick.of.nevada and x @nick_explores”

In MK-ULTRA Psychic Defense you play as a victim of the MK-ULTRA program, a young Ted Kaczynski, you have been unknowingly dosed with a highly experimental psychedelic compound in order to astral project your mind into the Psychosphere. Your CIA handlers wish you the best of luck in defending your Kundalini energy spiral from the waves of lower dimensional entities seeking to return your soul to the illusion of physical reality.

Key Features:
