About the Game

Otherwordly threats keep spawning from the depths of the earth and resistance is hanging by a thread. In Walls of Rust you're tasked with defending the area of the gameboard from a constant tide of enemies. With special skills and a deck of cards, command your mech units to destroy the growths before they can corrupt the land.

Key Features

  • Deckbuilding: Expand and modify your deck of cards to adapt to a different enemy pool each run. Unlock new cards to build your starting deck from.
  • Hex-based Tactics: Enemies spawn each turn, and they have to be destroyed before they time out. Firstly however, your Mechs need to be in range of them. Balance movement and aggression to control the gameboard consisting of hexagonal tiles. Plan ahead, so your units are ready to face each following turn.
  • Upgrades & Special Skills: Power up your mechs with unique upgrades and extra resources for additional effects & actions. Choose Special Skills to compliment your deck and units to survive the onslaught.
  • Ultimate Tests: In addition to normal enemies, you'll also face 4 different bosses each run, randomized from a pool. Defeat each one's special challenges to achieve victory.
