Roguelite tower defense. Build, Upgrade, Survive

Mainframe is a simple but tactical tower defense,  each run is unique due to the card system that can influence a varity of things and stats, from specific tower buffs to global buffs but also enemys with Challenge Cards. Thatll force you to also pick specific buffs enemys will get for said run.

Currently Includes

  • 4 Campaign Sectors — 32 total levels.
  • 13 Unique Towers — each with 3 pathway ultimates and visual upgrades.
  • 8 Detailed Bosses — plus 1 cinematic boss fight.
  • 20 Unique Enemies — distinct behaviours, bosses included
  • Extensive Skill Tree — still a (WIP but it works)
  • A lot of upgrade cards — and whatever they do lmao

The Card System

  • System Upgrades — enhance your overall gameplay, towers, economy, and more.
  • Base Upgrades — appear at the start and every 5 waves. These shift your run drastically.
  • Challenge Cards — buff the enemies themselves, dropping every 3 waves. Requires Careful picking.

Status

The game is still being worked on, just obviously takes longer with each thing as i focus on random things that pester me lmao, this whole thing is just a passion project so that i can have fun and see what bs can be shoved into something like this.
