About This Game

Return to the magical sand table: Tactical Archer has been upgraded to version 2.0!

Building on its mix of strategic tower defense and hands-on archery, the 2.0 update introduces autumn and winter environments, two new defensive towers, online co-op for 1–4 Player, mixed play between desktop and VR players, and a game lobby with public rooms. A brand-new map editor makes map creation more convenient and easier to learn.

Mysterious portals are opening across the islands. Plague-infected monsters pour through, advancing on the monument that keeps the islands safe. As a guardian, you must plan your defenses on a magical sand table, place towers, and take up your bow to fight alongside your teammates and stop the plague from spreading.

Study the enemy's approach and place defensive towers on the magical sand table.

Every placement appears on the battlefield in real time. Plan around the enemy's route, reinforce weak spots, and establish your defenses before the enemy breaks through.

Version 2.0 introduces two towers with distinct combat roles:

• Barracks: Deploy soldiers onto the road to block enemies, buying time for you and your towers to attack.

• Prism Tower: Unleash chain lightning that jumps between enemies, striking tightly packed groups.

Combine them with your other towers and adapt your defense to the road layout and enemy composition.

Version 2.0 adds autumn and winter environments alongside the forest and desert settings. The game includes the first level of each of four chapters:

• Summer Forest Village — Frontier Village

• Desert Ruins — Etchings Beneath the Sand

• Autumn Maple Canyon — Canyon Entrance

• Winter Snowfields — Snowline Outpost

From a bright woodland village and desolate desert ruins to a red-leafed canyon and a snowbound outpost, each battlefield offers its own atmosphere, road layout, and enemy combinations.

Version 2.0 brings online co-op for 1–4 Player.

Join up to three teammates and divide your efforts between building towers, shooting, blocking enemies, and supporting different parts of the defense.

There is no player-versus-player combat. Everyone faces the same enemies and protects the same monument.

Version 2.0 supports both PC desktop and VR modes, with players from both modes able to join the same room.

Whether you play on your desktop or step into the battlefield with a VR headset, you can defend alongside your friends on the same team.

Invite friends or use the game lobby to find fellow guardians.

Create a room and wait for others to join, or browse public rooms and enter another team's battle. Even without arranging a group in advance, you can find allies to help hold the line.

Version 2.0 introduces a brand-new map editor designed to make map creation more convenient and easier to learn.

Step beyond defending the battlefield and enjoy creating your own maps, bringing your ideas into the game.

Version 2.0 integrates Steam Workshop, bringing community creations into the experience.

Discover and play player-created content, explore the ideas of fellow guardians, and find more ways to enjoy defending the islands.
