TOWER IN THE SKY: TACTICS EDITION Unconventional Strategy Game Available Now on Steam

Featuring charming visuals, a hilarious cast of characters and an expansive world map, Tower in the Sky: Tactics Edition will challenge you to think on your feet and strategically manage your team in order to uncover the mystery behind the Tower in the Sky … and stop so-called “Ancients” from pillaging your homeworld!

After an apocalypse leads to the collapse of civilization as we know it, the rich and powerful flee to an orbiting space station. To maintain life support, the Ancients send a single spaceship down to Earth every thousand years to gather resources required for their survival. The problem is that you’re one of the people who was left behind – and the arrival of the spaceship has plunged your kingdom (Tyrune) into utter chaos.

Build the ideal squad from a dozen different playable heroes, and place your champions across four different combat lanes – each filled with invading enemies of all shapes and sizes. All characters have unique stats and abilities – and they can be equipped with a huge variety of weapons, items, and collectible T-shirts. Killing enemies gives your characters crystals that can be used to buy upgrades from a Skill Tree – making them even more effective in combat!

Battle and strategize against dozens of unique enemy types across a full single-player campaign that spans a thousand years. Meet a colorful cast of NPCs as you explore the Kingdom of Tyrune and stop the Ancients dead in their tracks. And if you manage to get through the campaign, a New Game+ mode is unlocked for increased difficulty …

DEVELOPER QUOTES
Cosmos Corbin (Co-Founder & Art/Sound Designer, Three Brothers Games):

“My brother and I have always enjoyed playing tower defense games like Plants vs. Zombies, but we felt they were too casual and didn’t require enough strategy. Tower in the Sky: Tactics Edition is our answer: a streamlined strategy game where tactical thinking and team management are crucial if you intend to see the story to its conclusion!”

Eden Corbin (Co-Founder & Lead Coder, Three Brothers Games):

“While we wanted the emphasis to be on the strategy (hence the vector art), we also didn’t want to take ourselves too seriously. So we hired a professional comedian to help us write the NPC dialogue, which provides some humor and personality to help bring the world to life. Now players have a serious strategy game that gives their brains a workout while offering some hearty laughs along the way.”
