What's in the cartridge
Manifesto
There was a time when games weren't made for a screenshot. They were made for that moment when you replay the wave a third time in one evening, because this time it's definitely going to work — and it does.
Ringward isn't trying to impress you with polygons. We have no budget for an artist, and we're glad — because instead of render farms, we spent that time on what actually matters: balance, tactics, the feel of every fight.
Hard pixels. Honest hex combat. Sound synthesized right in the browser, like the old sound chips. No graphics for graphics' sake — only what makes you want to play one more round.
Features
- Tower Defense with reactive pressure — the stronger your defense, the more dangerous the enemies
- Tactical hex battle with initiative, archetype abilities, and elemental magic
- Crafting, mastery, equipment — 18 progression branches with no one-evening ceiling
- 5 continents in a ring, mounts and travel between racial kingdoms
- Procedural music and sound — no samples, everything generated on the fly
- PvP raids on the Pirate Continent — the ganker assesses your garrison and offers you a choice
- Resource gathering on the spot — pick what to play: a mini-TD, Tetris, or Arkanoid. Resources drip in while you play live — fail the round, and gathering pauses until you restart
