Today we have made many improvements to the game and we have now fixed every outstanding bug that has been reported to us. Skill point changes ================ We had many comments regarding the skill points. Normally you would start with 5 points and you wouldn't gain any more for the rest of the game. People wanted more points as they played, so we listened and have changed the way skill points work. You now only start with 1 skill point, however you now gain a skill point every 1000 kills, up to a cap of 10 skill points (achieved at 9000 kills). When you have a skill point available, the button will appear and you will hear a sound notifying you that you have a point to spend. You can add/remove this point into any part of the skill tree, but you cannot remove points you've already saved. You also cannot spend more than 5 points into any part of the skill tree. It will be interesting to see how games now play. We understand the early part of the game may be slightly harder and the late game slightly easier, but we have delivered what the community has asked for and we will continue to monitor and listen to the community after this change. Patch notes ========== * Updated machine gun muzzle effect to be more alive * Resolved visual bug where main menu buttons would stay highlighted * You no longer use abilities or magical powers when typing a chat message * You can now switch weapons when the mouse is over a tower * You can now move the mouse over towers when firing and it will continue to fire instead of stopping * You can no longer interact with towers that are underneath the upgrade window when it's open * Rockets are no longer black and are textured correctly * Corrected upgrade information for Ice tower level 2 * Improved Ice evolve text to better explain what will happen * Evolved Ice towers now display meaningful information on the upgrade window ("speed" instead of "slow") * Added a key binding for Fast Evolve, similar to Fast Upgrade but for evolving towers quickly * Evolved Coin Generators no longer attempt to add the evolved effect onto it after it is destroyed * Default key binding for using a lift is now "C" instead of Left Shift * Default key binding for Fast Evolve is now Left Shift Enjoy! :)

AegisM is a competitive tower defence game with a twist. It combines tower defence with a wave survival/top down action shooter and then adds more new and exciting elements to the mix. Work alone or team up with others to work out the best strategy to achieve the highest scores on the never ending survival leaderboards. Once you're ready to prove yourself even more, you can take to the Player vs Player mode with competitive matchmaking and ELO ratings. AegisM is unlike other tower defence games; there are no waves of enemies, it's never ending, gradually getting harder and harder until you can't survive anymore and your strategy fails you.

Unique Bosses

As the game progresses and you last longer, you get introduced to new bosses. Each boss has a unique ability such as speed boosting, protecting, skull distracting and much more. Did we mention you don't just have to worry about land? There's also various types of air units to beat!

Skill Points

At the start of every game you get to spend 5 skill points on making your character unique. Put points into movement speed, reduced reload speed, build cost reduction, movement speed and more! Build a character around your style of play.

Achievements and Unlockables

Earn experience, gain levels, unlock new characters, magical powers and abilities that help you defeat the never ending horde of enemies! Achievement progress is displayed in game so you can see how far off you are from unlocking the character you want.

Multiple Towers, each with 3 levels

There's currently 11 different types of tower, each with 3 levels. See the stats for every tower, which player owns it, what the range of the tower is and what will happen if you upgrade it, simply by clicking it. You can also configure shortcut keys to speed build and upgrade.

Character Abilities

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various abilities that help aid your fight. These include slow dome, teleporters, dash, barriers and radars.

Magical Powers

Once unlocked through experience, you can select from various magical powers that compliment abilities and your character customisation. These include golem smash, ice block, heal base, character rage and a coin collector.

Multiple Environments with Dynamic Weather

Fight it out in the Forest, Desert or even indoors in the crypts! There's a full day and night cycle (this only affects the game visually), along with rain and snow - the world you're fighting in feels alive! There's also interactive elements such as lifts, dynamically changing levels and flame walls to add yet more variety.

Vendor with a huge selection of weapons

Don't like tower defence, want a hybrid strategy, or just simply enjoy shooting? Use your coins to buy weapons instead of towers and do the shooting yourself! There's a pistol, rifle, shotgun, laser, railgun and flame thrower to use. Lets not forget to mention the grenades, mines and air strikes that you can purchase!

Incredible replayability and a huge range of strategies

We have players who have put 100's (yes, 100's) of hours into working out the best strategies so don't be put off if you don't score top 10 on your first go. AegisM is incredibly competitive with worldwide leaderboards. As you play more and more, you start working out what you need to do to survive longer. Will you build towers only or go hybrid with guns? Will you shoot guns only? When will you upgrade that tower?

Mini Games

There is an ever growing list of competitive mini games that range from shooters to maze and timed type of games. Each mini game has a competitive leaderboard, so you can even show the world you're the fastest builder or runner out there.

Streamer vs Twitch mode

Are you a streamer? Well start interacting with your viewers with the Streamer vs Twitch mode! Every 3 minutes your chat gets to vote on what enemy they would like to send you. If you defeat it you score a point but if the enemy they have sent you reaches your base, the chat scores a point! Who will win? Please note this mode is not competitive but more of a fun mode for some streamers.

Completely Balanced

The game has been in development for just short of 5 years with around 150 beta testers. We have spent years perfecting the balance, how things scale over time and changing costs to ensure that there are no silly strategies such as only placing one tower or only buying one gun. You can only last so long with that arrow tower or rifle!
