Throbax Tower Defense is a game we’ve been developing the last four years in our spare time.
It was a huge project for us and finally we got greenlit on STEAM.
Now we’ve started early access there and we would be proud if you’d like to see the results we’ve accomplished so far.

Of course there is a free demo as well on the STEAM store page.
Any feedback is appreciated.
If you have any dev-related questions, shoot. I’d be happy to share.
For all interested, here is our homepage as well.

Thanks Monogame Community

I’ve never seen such an awesome group of people, always nice and eager to help.
We couldn’t have done it without you.

Throbax TD

In this Tower Defense game for the experienced player you have to survive wave after wave of fiendish enemies in a struggle for nothing less than your whole planet. Do you have the skills to drive away your foes and save your home?

Why Early Access?

“During the early access phase of Throbax we want to gather as much feedback and input from players all over the world as possible.

So far only our small team has played Throbax and we are eager to get different views on the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current time-schedule is to end early access phase in 2016 - a more detailed time-plan will be announced later.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Currently we plan the following key features for Throbax TD:

Battle your way through 50 levels, buy over 100 upgrades and get all of the 50+ achievements.
Captivating story that takes place in a universe created for this game only (sequel pending)
More than 10 different types of enemies
25 level circle tower defense mode
25 level standard tower defense mode
Over 100 upgrades for towers and your hero
Achievements
English / German
English / German voiceover in all cut-scenes
Towers with individual effects
Spells

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current status of Throbax is that the gameplay is fully implemented and the player can dive into thrilling levels with different mechanics and different types of towers.

Currently we have 25 fully functional levels, 6 different types of towers and 11 different types of enemies which await you!”

About the game

The game was planned as an old-school tower defense game (like Blizzard’s tower-defense map in Frozen Throne), but with a twist.

We wanted the game to have an immersive story and the first half of it to be a circle-tower-defense-game, meaning that the monsters will not vanish in a portal of some sort, but stay on the screen until you have destroyed them, or there are 100 of them on the screen (in which case you have lost).

But other than that, no bells and whistles, just basic action, but neatly balanced, good controls and not too easy.

The games controls are RTS-like (that means, that you control a hero, who will do most of the work in-game) and the second half of the levels will change the gameplay to a standard tower-defense game.
