What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re launching in Early Access to involve players early in shaping Runic Tower’s evolution. This lets us gather feedback on core gameplay, balance, and features while continuing to build out content, polish systems, and refine the overall experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to spend several months expanding content, refining mechanics, and improving performance based on community input. Our goal is to deliver a rich, polished experience, but we’ll remain flexible to ensure quality and player satisfaction.”

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

“We plan to expand on our Early Access build by adding more enemy factions, tower types, abilities, and story elements. We also plan to deepen gameplay systems, improve AI complexity, add new abilities, and enhance visual and audio polish to create a more immersive and replayable experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Runic Tower is currently in pre-alpha, featuring a basic playable loop with core tower defense mechanics, a prototype third-person perspective, and evolving ability systems. Art and enemy models are in progress, and many systems are actively being optimized for rapid content creation.”

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

“The price will start at an introductory Early Access rate and may gradually increase as we add significant content and features. We aim to keep the pricing fair and reflective of the game’s evolving scope and quality.”

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

“We’re committed to actively engaging with our community through forums, surveys, and social channels to gather feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Player input will directly influence design decisions, balancing, and feature priorities to create a game that truly resonates with its audience.

About This Game

A Tower Bound by Gods. A Defender Bound by Duty.

Runic Tower is a 3rd-person roguelike tower defense game where you fight to protect a living tower from relentless invaders. When the tower falls, the cycle begins again — each run forging new strategies, unlocking powers, and unveiling the dark forces behind the siege.

🛡️ Defend in Depth – Face waves of cunning enemies, from agile bandits to ritual-bound monstrosities, each with unique AI behaviors, abilities, and tactics.

⚔️ Evolve Your Arsenal – Discover, combine, and upgrade abilities through a modular system designed for experimentation — or break the rules entirely with rare, reality-bending runes.

♻️ Die, Learn, Repeat – Runs end when the tower is destroyed, not when you fall. Return to the fight with new upgrades, meta-progression, and knowledge of your foes.

🌿A Living World – Every faction tells a story through combat. Bandits cut deals in the shadows, cultists bind horrors to their will, and monstrous Covenant creatures stalk the battlefield.

Key Features

  • 3rd-person roguelike tower defense hybrid
