11 itemsAbout the Game
A challenging survival RTS roguelite about surviving against thousands of enemies. Start each run with the hopes of going as deep as you can. Customize your army with different weapons, armour and upgrades. When you inevitably fail, use the knowledge gained to make your next attempts stronger through meta progression upgrades.
Hold your ground
Once you start fueling your drill, a massive swarm of monsters will attack you. Setup defensive barricades and choke points to survive.
Expand your Base
Clear out and expand into as much of the darkness as you can. The more resources you control, the more powerful you can become. Your goal is to collect as much Radium to fuel your drill as you can. The more you collect, the deeper you can go.
Customize your units and buildings
After every level, all units and buildings can be customized with different weapons, armour and upgrades. The better you do in each mission, the more currency you have to craft new equipment.
Meta Progression
Defeat is inevitable, but after each loss unlock powerful meta progression to become stronger. The further down you go, the more meta progression you will get, and the more powerful you can become!
Drill ever deeper into the unknown!
As you descend you will face increasingly more powerful enemies. Do you have what it takes to survive what lurks below?
Thousands of units
The unrelenting assault of the swarm is upon you. Can you survive long enough?
