Hero Defense Haunted Island enters Steam Early Access
BERLIN, January 28, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Berlin-based indie developer Happy Tuesday is looking forward
to celebrating a very happy day, indeed: its unique
Tower-Defense Action-RPG mix, Hero Defense – Haunted Island,
enters Steam's Early Access program today and is now available
for PC gamers world-wide.
Hero Defense – Haunted Island puts players in control of a team
of five monster slayers, who battle their way through
challenging arenas to defeat none other than the world’s most
powerful vampire, the evil Count Necrosis. They violently battle
through legions of the undead, bent on world domination. But
that's not all - countless bosses with unique abilities await
players on their journey. By defeating the evil, players help
restoring the places Count Necrosis destroyed. They free and
help villagers, meet new allies – and enjoy a satiric story that
guides them through the game.
Hero Defense - Haunted Island challenges Tower-Defense, MOBA and
RPG enthusiasts by offering a gameplay mix of all these genres.
Players strategically manuever their upgradeable heroes to
destroy hordes of sinister creeps. A deep RPG layer allows
customization of each hero and features upgradeable weapons as
well as character skill trees. Within the world of Hero Defense
– Haunted Island, players loot, collect and merge runes to
access new skills. Procedurally generated enemies and daily
challenges guarantee a gigantic replay value.
In multiplayer mode, which will be available briefly after the
start of Early Access, players will be able to take part in
ranked and unranked matches, using clever strategies or brute
force to succeed and earn epic runes.
While Hero Defense – Haunted Island is available in Steam's
Early Access program, players can enjoy hours of a narrated
story campaign. It is Happy Tuesday's goal to work closely with
the community to improve Hero Defense – Haunted Island based on
players' feedback, and overall raise the quality bar for all
future tower defense games. Main development focus of the Early
Access will be the multiplayer.
Hero Defense – Haunted Island is available now for PC on Steam’s
Early Access, priced at US$14.99.
