Elemental War 2 News

It’s time for our big game mode update for Elemental War 2. It took a while due to some cert issues (as usual), but now we’re fine and here we go.

The two big features of the new update are the endless mode and the weekly challenges.

The endless mode is the same game as the normal mode until wave 80. But instead of ending there another elemental crystal will spawn. That way you can continue playing until you have no lives left and get new elements and items until you reach that point.

The weekly challenges are exactly what the name says: they change every week and are real challenges. You will get a specific game configuration and have a week to improve your score there to improve your overall challenge ranking. The game configuration contains obvious things like the map, game mode and difficulty, but also things you usually can’t influence, like your start lives, the start wave, whether the game can be paused or not and more. Every week will be a little different, so check it out.

It’s finally time to announce our new tower defense CyberTD, a mix of tower defense, roguelite and deckbuilding taking place in our cyberspace setting now called Triverse.

Working on it since April this year we’re finally ready to announce our new game, CyberTD! It’s a tower defense game, mostly turn-based, roguelite with deckbuilding and inspired by Taur, Core Defense and Slay the Spire.

You have one tower to defend the cyber core against viruses. Each wave you can select an upgrade to enhance your tower and its customizable loadout of weapons and active abilities to strengthen your defense and explore different combinations.

Play it alone, in local or online multiplayer both in coop and a versus mode or on Twitch with or against your chat!

You can already wishlist the game. Doing so will help us a lot, even when you’re not going to buy it in the end, so please consider it and tell all your friends about it as well!

CyberTD shall be released on PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) in 2023.

Here we have another update for you. Again we fixed a few issues here and there. There are no new features this time as we work in parallel on the first bigger content update. That will introduce an endless mode and weekly challenges.

Endless mode as the name implies will just not end at wave 80 like the normal mode does. Instead you can continue playing as long as you can survive and get some more elements. Weekly challenges will be really challenges. We have a bunch of things that can be modified and each week you get a new challenge. Less lives, fixed element order, no items, no cooldown between waves and a lot more things are possible. Stay tuned, just played the first challenge this week to test that mode and it was pretty cool and super hard. One could actually say it was “challenging”.

If you have suggestions, check out the feedback thread in the Steam discussions or our Discord.
