Greetings, Masters of Loop Defense!
Our independently developed new strategy tower defense game—Rail Defense: Eldritch Siege—has officially begun its limited-time Public Playtest!
View game page
This test will initially open Character Mode. Players will take on the role of the first available character. Once a master mechanical modifier, she joined the Rail God Research Association and now commands her signature dual-tech turrets—harnessing both lightning and steam—to repel the encroaching void.
Core Experience Highlights:
- Dual-Tech Turrets, Strategic Assembly: Control Auvia, freely combining 4 types of Steam-Powered Turrets (Forge Press, Mortar, Volley Gun, Double Blast) with 4 types of Arc-Tech Turrets (Arc Flash, Fork Bolt, Ion Orb, Superconduct). Experience distinctly different combat styles, from single-target burst to area chaining.
- Deep Progression, Arm Your Train: Through trials in Normal and Elite waves, as well as Boss battles, gradually unlock and upgrade the 8 turret types, arming them onto your mobile fortress—the War Train.
- Relic Collection, Build Your Playstyle: Collect over 40 unique Rail Relics left behind by the Rail Gods. Cleverly combining them will significantly enhance your combat capabilities, helping you forge a unique clearing strategy.
- Dynamic Battlefield, Random Events: Beyond the intense main combat, levels will also randomly feature diverse node events such as supply drops, mysterious merchants, and sudden encounters. Opportunity and risk coexist; every choice can change the course of battle.
- Trial Loop, Grow Stronger: Upon completing each trial, you will earn rewards including Turrets, Relics, Rail Devices, and Synergy Nodes. Evolve your tactical system by synthesizing higher-tier turrets, stacking Infusion layers, and cleverly laying rails to alter the battlefield terrain, preparing for the ever-swelling "Outer God Swarm" and ominous curses.
