Base Defender - v0.1 (early test)
Defend your Core against waves of zombie. Gear up in walk-up shops, build barricades and turrets, level up and pick perks, and hold the line as long as you can.
PLAY WITH FRIENDS OR WITH BOTS
Up to 8 players can join a game. Any empty slot can be filled by a bot teammate, so you can play solo, with one friend, or with a full squad. Bots shoot, build, shop, revive and heal, and a real player takes a bot's place when they join.
THIS GAME IS NEW
This is the first public version (v0.1). It is a real, playable game, but it is young: balance is still being tuned and bugs are expected. Every piece of feedback is welcome, and I will keep improving the game from it. Tell me what is fun, what is too hard or too easy, and what is broken.
FEATURES
- Co-op, 1-8 players, with bots. Mix humans and bots as you like; join a game already in progress and get catch-up gold and XP.
- Waves from portals. Zombies come from 1 to 4 lanes (depending on the number of players) and every 5th wave brings a tougher mini boss. Drag a wave out too long and the horde goes into overtime and rushes the Core, so running in circles will not save you.
- Five professions: Universal, Engineer (turrets), Heavy (ammo boxes), Light (cheaper shops) and Medic (heals allies).
- Weapons and gear: pistol, shotgun, rifle and a rocket launcher, with magazines, spare ammo and an active reload . Armor, helmets and potions.
- Build: place sandbag barricades and auto-turrets, repair them, and upgrade turret damage and fire rate.
- Shops and perks: walk up to shops, spend gold, level up and choose perks. Revive downed teammates before they bleed out.
- Generated maps: every map comes from a seed (copy it, share it, replay it) in forest, jungle or desert.
- Host options: difficulty (Easy / Normal / Hard), number of waves or endless, start gold, prep time, shared or per-player gold, friendly fire, random shop positions.
- Sound and feedback: announcer lines for kill streaks and boss kills, music, and hit and damage feedback.

KNOWN ISSUES (v0.1)
- Balance is a first guess, especially in later waves.
- The first join can take a little while: the game downloads its assets (models and sounds).
- Multiplayer has so far been tested with only a few players; please report desync or lag.
