Aegis Defenders, co-op 2D Action-Platformer combined with Tower-Defense combat is out today!

February 8, 2018 Posted by Bill Loguidice News No Comments

Discover a beautiful place lost to time, brimming with dangerous beasts, forgotten ruins, and powerful relics. Switch between four different characters at anytime, each with their own unique, upgradeable arsenals. Each of the 18 expansive levels concludes in a Tower Defense Battle – adapt your strategy to ever evolving challenges! Aegis Defenders is available for Steam, Sony PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the link.

EXPLORE

Uncover a Gorgeous 16-bit World
The look and feel of Aegis Defenders is a love letter to an era of games when the sprite graphics of games like Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, and the Legend of Zelda captured our imaginations.  Featuring 16-bit inspired sprite visuals, every detail in the world of Aegis is painstakingly hand painted.

BUILD

Defense Inspired Combat
Aegis Defenders features fast-paced, flexible combat fueled by defense mechanics.  Players must utilize Bart’s ability to craft powerful defensive and offensive structures as well as Clu’s arsenal of firearms and traps to survive an onslaught of monsters coming from all directions.  With the ability to combine and upgrade Bart and Clu’s abilities on the fly using our “Fusion System,” no two playthroughs are alike.

DEFEND

Dynamic Character Swapping
The dynamic character swapping feature allows players to switch between up to 4 characters at anytime.  Survival will depend on the player’s ability to utilize the passive abilities of inactive characters just as effectively as active characters.

TOGETHER

Cooperative & Tailored Gameplay
Too dangerous to go alone?  Play the entire story campaign cooperatively with a friend using our drop-in/drop-out splitscreen co-op, or if you’re looking for a challenge, try testing your skill with our multiple difficulty tiers.

FEATURES

  • ​Play as up to four different heroes at once using our dynamic character swapping system, each with their own unique set of equipment and abilities:
    • BART: The Engineer
    • CLU: The Hunter
    • KAIIM: The Monk
    • ZULA: The Thief​
  • Utilize an arsenal of over 20+ different turrets & traps to defeat massive waves of enemies
  • Play with a friend at any time with Drop-in / Drop-out local splitscreen Co-op
  • Upgrade your equipment through an in-game shop and unlock new “fusions” that allow heroes to combine turrets with themselves or even each other
  • Experience an epic story that spans across the world of Elam
  • Strategize your way to victory across 18 different levels and an estimated 8-10 hours of gameplay
