About This Game

Bring light back to a world consumed by darkness.
Step into a world consumed by darkness. Era of Shadows blends tense survival, resource management, and strategic base building into a tower defense experience. Every decision you make during the light determines whether you survive the night.

Core Features:- Day/night phase:
- Day: Gather & Build - Explore the map, collect resources, discover hidden treasures, tools, weapons, spells and more. Prepare to survive the night.
- Night: Survive the Horde - When night falls, the shadows attack. Use your prepared defenses and abilities to repel the horde. If your town center falls, all is lost.

- Talent progression - Customize your defensive strategies: As you defeat your foes, you gather experience levels. Upgrade your player stats, spells and abilities.

- Steal from local tribes - Certain maps contain local tribes with valuable items, spells, weapons and more that can be stolen. But be careful. If you get caught stealing, you may have just made a new enemy.

Campaign progression - Unlock new maps as you progress the story, bringing you closer and closer to finding out the truth about your missing wife. Play the story again on a higher difficulty, introducing several new monsters and mechanics that can't be found in normal difficulty.
