Description
About This Game
The Anchored Hour is a roguelite tower-defense strategy game about defending a displaced royal keep after a mysterious black orb tears the castle into a hostile timeline.
Build up your defenses, scout through fog-covered lands, gather resources, and send your own waves of units down the path to destroy enemy towers, outposts, and the enemy base. Each run pushes the kingdom farther through unstable biomes while relics, upgrades, and hard choices shape how your defenses survive the next assault.
Key Features:
- Tower-defense strategy with an offensive twist: defend your keep while sending your own units into enemy territory.
- Build and upgrade towers, support buildings, collectors, and scouting tools.
- Scout fog-covered maps to reveal resources, threats, and points of interest.
- Fight through enemy towers, outposts, elite enemies, and biome-based pressure.
- Collect relics and upgrades that change your run and support different strategies.
- Manage resources, workers, routes, and timing as each day escalates.
- Designed for replayable runs with different maps, biomes, and build paths.
The game is planned for Early Access, with active development focused on balance, readability, art/audio polish, and expanded content over time.
