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?

“Developing a tower defense game requires a delicate balance between tower building, challenging waves, and first-person action. We're launching the project in Early Access to refine the core mechanics, enemy balance, and leveling system together with the community. Your feedback will help us understand which aspects of the game are most interesting to players and make the final version as engaging as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the project in Early Access for approximately 8 to 12 months. This period will allow us to slowly add planned maps, expand the tower arsenal, introduce new enemies, and fully polish the optimization.”

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

“In the full version 1.0, we plan to add:
3-4 unique maps with different terrain and unique biomes;
New enemy types with special abilities;
Additional tower material types, as well as materials for new potions;
Final polishing of the visuals and sound, and full optimization.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay cycle is now fully developed: construction, defense, and combat. Players have access to one detailed location, a basic set of materials for towers and potions, and several enemy types with increasingly difficult waves. The game is completely stable and playable from start to finish.”

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

“Yes, we plan to slightly increase the price at the 1.0 release to reflect the amount of new content and improvements. Players who supported us during Early Access will receive the game at a lower price.”

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

“We're actively collecting feedback and bug reports via the Steam forum and Google Forms directly from the main menu. We'll be regularly releasing patches and conducting surveys so players can directly influence tower balance, the introduction of new enemy types, and the priority of new map creation.”

About This Game

In Arcane Architect, you don't just control the battlefield, you're at its center. Don a VR headset, wield a magical staff, and defend a fantasy world from advancing hordes of monsters as a battle archmage.

  • Large-scale VR gameplay: Feel like you're on the front lines. Face the advancing monsters and erect colossal defensive structures right around you.

  • Three-section tower crafting: Design the perfect defense. Each tower consists of three independent sections. Combine different materials to unlock new unique attack types and synergies.

  • Magic in your hands: When towers fail, engage in battle yourself! Use your trusty staff to burn away groups of enemies with devastating fireballs or overwhelm them with a powerful shockwave.

  • Alchemy right in battle: Discover new ingredients and brew tactical potions. Throw flasks at enemies to inflict devastating debuffs, or upgrade your towers with targeted buffs at critical moments.

  • Variety of Enemies and Bosses: Each type of monster requires a different approach. Adjust your tower element combinations to suit different enemy defenses and prepare for a tough challenge in battles with massive bosses.

  • Continuous Progression: Win battles to unlock new rare tower building elements and unique alchemical recipes. Develop your arsenal from level to level!
