HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia combines steampunk aesthetics with tower defense strategy on a moving battlefield. The game features interconnected energy networks where every component matters.
The Game
Players command the Arcadia, a flying frigate navigating through the world of Khoral. The tower defense mechanics demand strategic thinking as enemies attack from all directions. Each battle brings unique conditions through roguelike structure.
Core Mechanics
The game introduces network-based defense systems:
- Interconnected energy grid linking weapons and modules
- Moving tower defense with adaptive positioning
- Dynamic enemy tactics attacking from multiple angles
- Permanent ship progression between missions
Strategic Depth
HEXSTORM requires careful planning and adaptation. Losing a single network node can disable multiple defense systems. Mission conditions and temporary boost modules force players to develop new strategies each battle.
Visual Design
The game features hand-painted celestial aesthetics inspired by classic RTS titles. Each level receives obsessive attention to detail.
