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?

“Early Access allows us to improve the game together with the community. Player feedback will help us identify bugs, improve balancing, refine existing systems and decide where additional content and features can have the biggest impact.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. This may change depending on player feedback, testing and the scope of further improvements.”

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

“The full version is planned to offer more content, improved balancing and polish, expanded village and progression systems, additional gameplay variety and story elements. Existing systems will also continue to be refined based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game already offers a fully playable core experience with 20 campaign levels, an Endless mode, multiple towers and abilities, different enemies and bosses, village progression and persistent progression systems. Early Access will focus on expanding, balancing and polishing this foundation.”

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

“We plan to moderately increase the price when the game leaves Early Access, reflecting the additional content, features and overall improvements added during development.”

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

“Community feedback will be an important part of development. Players can report bugs and provide feedback directly through the game, and selected players may participate in playtests of new features and content. Contributors who meaningfully help improve the game may also be acknowledged in the final credits.”

About This Game

Buildcraft TD combines tower defense, village building, and lasting solo progression. Move your hero between defenses, build and upgrade towers, and activate their abilities when the pressure rises.

Fight through 20 campaign levels, complete three star objectives on each map, and unlock tougher Elite variants. Bring your rewards home, strengthen your village, and return with new options for your next battle.

Make your village your own. Place and upgrade houses, connect buildings with paths, and decorate the spaces between them with trees, flowers, fountains, and more. Watch residents walk through the settlement you designed.

Your layout matters: buildings need a connected route to the village entrance to function. Grow your village, unlock new tower types through its houses, and develop the forge, workshop, and research station to support your solo adventures.

Build your strategy around nine tower types, from reliable Arrow and Cannon towers to crackling Tesla coils. Use terrain to your advantage: Harpoon towers belong in water, while Ballistas command mountain positions.

Invest in permanent tower upgrades, unlock active abilities, and choose specializations that change how your defenses fight. Combine crowd control, damage over time, chain lightning, and powerful single-target attacks to answer different threats.

How far can your defenses take you? In solo Endless Mode, face escalating waves and dangerous bosses while shaping your run through randomized artifact choices.

Stack bonuses, strengthen your favorite towers, improve your economy, or take a risky upgrade for a bigger payoff. Discover combinations that work together, beat your personal best, and climb the solo Endless leaderboard.

Team up with a friend in two-player online Endless co-op. Start each run with Arrow towers, share your gold and base health, and coordinate your defenses as the waves grow stronger.

After each wave, each player chooses one of three personal cards to unlock tower types, raise upgrade limits, or gain useful bonuses. Co-op has its own fresh-start progression, separate from your solo village. Pick a hat, coordinate through chat and emotes, and celebrate with a high five.
