Developed by Finnish studio Kraftix Games has announced that Alien Robot Monsters (A.R,M.) is now available for PC on Steam, iOS and Android devices.
Alien Robot Monsters is a hardcore tower defense game with a twist: Instead of being stuck with stationary towers, you can actually deploy troops and hit the enemy where it hurts.
Alien Robot Monsters sets itself apart from other TD games by featuring a deep, complex technology tree. A simple supply stash can become a flame-throwing, mortar-shooting bunker — and that awkward tech center can reach its full glory as a menacing orbital staging area that shoots LASERS.
Another neat trick is upgrading your troops with better armor, weapons, and even classes such as Space Marines, Spec Ops, Heavy, and Sentinels. However, the bad guys have nasty stratagems of their own: They can launch aerial assault bots, send in swarms of snake-like fiends, deploy troops that can insta-kill your soldiers, bring out walking tanks, and even unleash scary MECHA BOSSES.
DEVELOPER QUOTE
Markku Rankala, Co-Founder (Kraftix Games):
“When we were creating Alien Robot Monsters, we knew from the start that we needed to kill some sacred cows in order to get noticed. For example, A.R.M. allows players to engage the enemy directly through the use of elite units — which in RTS-like fashion can leave the towers behind and funnel the enemy into the desired direction . . . creating all sorts of useful bottlenecks. This one change adds an entirely new dimension to the combat.”
