What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I still have lots of great ideas that I would like to get into the game. I'm still adding in new bosses, have ideas for more towers, more maps, more challenges and modes. I'd also like more feedback from the community as to what they would like to see in the game to make sure we have everything in there prior to release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's really hard to say. Every time I think we're close to a release, either myself or the community think of more fun things to add or change which adds to the development cycle.”

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

“More bosses, more maps, new challenges, more polish, more everything. It really depends on what myself or the community can think of!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Completely playable, competitive and balanced game. All achievements are obtainable/unlockable and will be saved on your Steam account. Everything listed below in the "About this game" section is currently implemented, live, tested and playable, including all towers. There may be the odd small bug, but it certainly shouldn't be game breaking as we have had players who have played the game for over 300(!) hours in the current state. All networking aspects are fully functional, including separate regions and has been tested on a wide variety of hardware. There is nothing missing, it's just improvements and more content from now on!”

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

“Pricing will increase slightly as we move towards full release.”

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

“Throughout the 10+ years of development (yes, really!), I've had constant feedback and ideas from the community that has been implemented into the game. I have a Discord and social media presence which is used to communicate to players and are actively watching AegisM streams on Twitch to get more ideas and feedback. I welcome players to communicate to us through Discord, social media and the Steam Discussion boards to improve the game further.”

“AegisM is a pretty easy game to start, but as the waves ramp up and enemies get stronger, it becomes simply addictive in its rapid, scaling gameplay!”

About This Game



AegisM is a competitive, balanced and stat heavy tower defence game with a twist. It combines tower defence with a wave survival/top down action shooter and then adds more new and exciting elements to the mix. Work alone or team up with others to work out the best strategy to achieve the highest scores on the never ending survival leaderboards. AegisM is unlike other tower defence games; there are no waves of enemies, it's never ending, gradually getting harder and harder until you can't survive anymore and your strategy fails you.

Build towers your way

You can change all of the stats on each of your projectile based towers. Upgrade range, damage, rate, critical chance and critical damage at every tower level to expand massively on the amount of strategies available to you!

Evolve Towers

Not only are there 34 towers in the game, but you can now evolve your towers into something different. Convert rocket towers into nuke towers, sacrifice coin generators to heal your base, make your towers resistant to certain enemy types and much more! This increases the total tower count to 68 and increases the available tactics to you!

Unique Bosses

As the game progresses and you last longer, you get introduced to new bosses. Each boss has a unique ability such as speed boosting, protecting, skull distracting and much more. Did we mention you don't just have to worry about land? There's also various types of air units to beat!

Skill Points

At the start of every game you get to spend a skill point on making your character unique. Every 1000 kills you gain another point to place into movement speed, reduced reload speed, build cost reduction or magazine size! Build a character around your style of play.

Achievements and Unlockables

Earn experience, gain levels, unlock new characters, magical powers and abilities that help you defeat the never ending horde of enemies! Achievement progress is displayed in game so you can see how far off you are from unlocking the character you want.

Statistics

Help understand what happened on each of your attempts on our new web service at https://www.aegis-m.com. At the end of every game you play, you'll be given a unique link to open the statistics page and drill down into all the numbers possible. As an example, you can view a game here: https://aegis-m.com/lobby/109775240977948255/. Don't worry, if you want to hide your statistics from other players, there's the option to mark them as private before you start! This web service is constantly improving over time, so expect more stats each time you visit there.

Multiple Towers, each with 3 levels

There's currently 12 different types of tower, each with 3 levels and an alternative mode (evolve). See the stats for every tower, which player owns it, what the range of the tower is and what will happen if you upgrade it, simply by clicking it. You can also configure shortcut keys to speed build, upgrade and evolve.

Character Abilities

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various abilities that help aid your fight. These include slow dome, teleporter, dash, barriers, critical chance and a coin collector.

Magical Powers

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various magical powers that compliment abilities and your character customisation. These include golem smash, ice block, heal base, character rage and a tower damage boost.

Multiple Environments with Dynamic Weather

Fight it out in the Forest, Desert or even indoors in the crypts! There's a full day and night cycle (this only affects the game visually), along with rain and thunder - the world you're fighting in feels alive! There's also interactive elements such as lifts, dynamically changing levels and flame walls to add yet more variety.

Vendor with a huge selection of weapons

Don't like tower defence, want a hybrid strategy, or just simply enjoy shooting? Use your coins to buy weapons instead of towers and do the shooting yourself! There's a pistol, rifle, shotgun, laser, railgun, flame thrower and a sword to use. Lets not forget to mention the grenades, mines and air strikes that you can purchase!

Incredible replay-ability and a huge range of strategies

We have players who have put 100's (yes, 100's) of hours into working out the best strategies so don't be put off if you don't score top 10 on your first go. AegisM is incredibly competitive with worldwide leaderboards. As you play more and more, you start working out what you need to do to survive longer. Will you build towers only or go hybrid with guns? Will you shoot guns only? When will you upgrade or evolve that tower? Will you upgrade the stats or upgrade the base level of a tower? Look at the average play time of our Steam reviews and you'll see what we mean!

Mini Games

There is an ever growing list of competitive mini games that range from shooters to maze and timed type of games. Each mini game has a competitive leaderboard, so you can even show the world you're the fastest builder or runner out there.

Streamer vs Twitch mode

Are you a streamer? Well start interacting with your viewers with the Streamer vs Twitch mode! Every 3 minutes your chat gets to vote on what enemy they would like to send you. If you defeat it you score a point but if the enemy they have sent you reaches your base, the chat scores a point! Who will win? Please note this mode is not competitive but more of a fun mode for streamers.

Completely Balanced

The game has been in development for over 8 years with 100's of players giving us feedback. We have spent years perfecting the balance, how things scale over time and changing costs to ensure that there are no silly strategies such as only placing one tower or only buying one gun. You can only last so long with that arrow tower or rifle!
