About the Game

EMBRACE THE CHAOS

In GILTSTEADER, you must adapt and survive against an uprising of rogue agricultural drones. Each turret you deploy or upgrade is a roll of the dice, so you will be battling against chance as you face 40 waves of increasingly formidable enemy drones. Strategically choose where you place your turrets, which ones you keep, and which ones you upgrade.

MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFITS

Test your ability to time the market as you grow and sell crops to afford better defenses. Prices fluctuate every wave, and selling too soon or too late could cost you everything. Will you hedge your bets with different crops, or master one to boost its sell value?

BECOME A GILTSTEADER

There's never a dull moment in this colony. Complete quests and summon test drones to earn seeds for your crops, go fishing in the serene rivers for various resources, and invest and grow your money in a 401K for the final boss, all while trying to survive. No two games are the same, and it's up to you to overcome the odds.
