7 itemsAbout the Game
It starts with a single hexagonal structure, you get to decide its purpose, but by itself, it won't stand for long.
A creature is approaching, looking to destroy your hexagon. Build a turret, Defend it, and multiply it.
The enemy is not alone anymore, a group is coming, but your cannons are loaded and your shields are raised, you are ready.
And so are they.
Enemies are constantly approaching as you expand outwards, trying to do what you can to survive and thrive.
You are expected to explore the map, exterminate threats, and adapt, to use every droplet of hope that the environment gives to you to match the evergrowing horde that is inevitably coming.
