Sci-Fantasy Defence V10 — Top-Down Update

This update added new content, including new traps and weapons. The game also changed the viewing perspective to top-down, and content was redesigned to accommodate this (for example, ceiling traps are now wall traps). Also, split-screen multiplayer has been replaced with a shared screen. In VR, this is combined: you build in giant mode, but the character follows your movements in battle mode.

Here's the list of new features and changes:

  • NEW Hammer trap

  • NEW Push trap

  • NEW Energy Barrier (prevents projectiles from entering or exiting from the area)

  • NEW Swing Axe trap

  • NEW Mjolnir weapon

  • The biome is now procedurally generated with obstacles

  • New building system: Walls are now limited, and you receive a certain amount after each wave. Building any trap requires a resource. Resources are distributed randomly across the walls. For example, to build a mechanical trap, you need a gear in an adjacent cell.

  • Returned back rogue-like upgrades choices after each wave

  • VR: a 3D panel with traps has been added for more intuitive construction (pick up and place with your hand)

  • Improved visual effects for injuries—blood now flows from the cut site of creatures.

  • Improved trap impact effects.

  • Bullets now reflect off obstacles

  • Time slowdown and speedup (0.25x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x)

and more other improvements and bug fixes.
