DeathTower changes
Steam post imageWe started in 2016 after leaving Motion Twin to develop Double Kick Heroes. Since then, we've worked on many games, including Metal Slug Tactics and Shotgun King, and collaborated with various studios on projects such as Absolum, Windjammer 2, Warhammer : Mechanicus, etc. And of course, DeathTower!
Now, let's see what's new!
Steam post image We're still improving the UI, moving from mockup to game engine! Despite their good looks, the characters were so big that they often hid vital information. We therefore started reworking this part and refined the "control block" as well.
Steam post imageHere's a first look at the Haven, a resting place where banned µbots try to live in autarky away from the Erineos. A safeplace for those who can reach it in the solar farm. The Haven will evolve as you save µbots throughout your journey!
Steam post imageFirst look at the residential area biome!
The residential district is an ancient, long-forgotten quarter that hides clues about µbot creation and even about the nature of the world itself. It’s laid out like an old city, with broad avenues framed by dusty crumbling buildings and narrower alleys branching off the main routes. The design intent for these maps is to highlight those wide, dominant paths while fragmenting them with tight side-paths and blind corners that let players close with foes and strike from behind. The contrast between open avenues and tight path creates dynamic opportunities for ambush, pursuit, and tactical positioning!

You will also encounter more evil threats, such as marauders armed with shotguns and Spartan Uboots, etc...Last but not least, the fifth playable character, Nekat, is taking shape!
We'll see you soon with more news about DeathTower in the next newsletter! The demo was updated in December — feel free to try it out! Please note that not all of the changes shown here have been included yet in order to improve stability.
