About the Game

Enter Puropu, an alternate universe where Props—sentient inanimate objects—must protect their existence against Earth’s relentless human invaders. As an elite warrior of the Puropu Defense Squad, your mission is clear: defend the Extractor, the lifeblood of your civilization, at all costs!

Choose from a diverse roster of quirky heroes, each offering radically different playstyles and talent trees. Whether it’s the explosive might of Mr. Box, the tactical genius of Grey, the swift strikes of Tomusashi, the transpercing Ryush, or the blinding lights of Denkyu—every character brings something unique to the battlefield. Customize them by unlocking new talents in each hero's talent tree, and by acquiring a variety of items and XP-based upgrades to tailor your playstyle.

Embark on a challenging campaign solo or with up to 3 friends on PC, Mac, Linux and consoles (Q1 2025)! The entire campaign is available for you to enjoy together: all maps in 4 modes Normal, Elite, Heroic, and Infinite modes. The game will automatically adapts the difficulty based on the number of players in your party!

From the simple 1-blade saw trap to the most advanced laser turret, you can build the maze of your dream with hundreds of defenses. There are 15 traps to choose from and a Research Center to unlock new traits and new ways to synergize your buildings. There is no limit to what you and your friends can build, the game is heavily optimized to support hundreds of defenses and enemies on screen.

Puropu is a world where Props are alive, fighting to protect their realm against Earth’s human forces. Encounter absurd and hilarious enemies—from Farmers and Must-wielding Policemen to Tank Brutes, Flying Units, Hippy Healers, and the stealthy Special Agent 74. Watch out for enemies with special abilities, such as the Cloner that duplicates itself every 10 seconds or the Gomp Runner that speeds through your defenses.
