HexaScape: Cyber Defense (tuxdb.com)

Release of Update 1.1.0

Hi everyone, The first big content update during the early access of HexaScape is live now . We added some new features to the game you can use in the editor as well as play on the three new campaign maps and the new endless mode. The features are a new victory condition to connect two regions directly, a trigger/receiver mechanic so when building to a defined spot you trigger some event on another tile/biome and the new tile limited mode. That mode doesn't contain viruses, but you will slowly run out of new tiles to place when you don't complete quests. Besides that we have several fixes and quality of life improvements that should make playing in general easier, but also help to get started as we also improved the tutorials and some more tooltips and information. We also changed the skillpoint mechanic. Instead of having to connect them to your towers you can freely place them now and you have a global skillpoint pool. This will make it a lot easier to spread skills among towers instead of specializing on just one of them.

Board game-like mechanics

If you know the board game classic Carcassonne, you’ll instantly feel at home in HexaScape. Players determine the course of the game by placing hexagon tiles: they explore cyberspace, expand the influence of the cyber core, and build a defense line with towers that can be strengthened and upgraded by power clusters.

As you increase the core’s reach, virus spawners will appear. They spawn viruses and grow stronger with each wave – unless you manage to disable them. Each run feels different: The more you expand into cyberspace, the more abilities the viruses can take on, testing your ability to constantly adapt to new game conditions.

Build unique towers

Cyber towers are your only defence against viruses. Place them wisely, buff them with power fields, upgrade them with new abilities by completing quests, and use skill points to customize them to your needs.

Explore cyberspace

By placing the hex tiles, you explore cyberspace, encountering six different biomes, many different events, and virus bosses hidden on the generator tiles. There’s a campaign with predefined scenarios, an endless mode with procedurally generated maps, maps of the week, and user-generated maps for nearly endless fun!

Create your own maps

Create custom maps for new challenges with the powerful editor! Determine where biomes, event fields, and boss fields are located, and add your own story. Play your maps yourself or share them with the community.
