Today marks the first of our community PvP event. Starting at 19:00 GMT today, players will be ready to click that FIND PVP button! Don't worry too much though, a lot of players who are high up in the leaderboards haven't even tried PvP yet so you've got a good chance of getting a few wins and increasing that ELO rating. **************************************************** Important: You must be on retail (NOT BETA) branch. Your region must be set to Western Europe. ****************************************************
How to participate ================ When the time hits 19:00 GMT today, simply click on the Find PVP button in the Server Browser and wait until another player clicks it and you're matched. If you have waited more than 2 minutes, try cancelling and clicking it again. Simple! If you are experiencing slight lag or delay, it will be because you're connecting to someone who may be in a different part of the world. The game will automatically detect this and will end the game without any ELO alterations for both players, so don't be too concerned. This is the first PvP community event and we're looking forward to seeing players having fun in a mode they may not have tried before. We have all sorts of good PvP plans for the future so stay tuned on here and twitter! Good luck and have fun! Beta patch =========== We have recently identified a couple of issues with the mid-late game in regards to how the game plays out, one of which was that the kappa tower was just way too unbalanced compared to other towers. This meant it was a game of kappas, ice and aoe towers over and over. We want more variation and more balance so starting with this beta patch, we are changing how the game plays. The game will be incredibly hard whilst we tune a lot of variables in the game, but it's already making for a more varied and fun game! Once we're happy, many scores from the leaderboards will be removed and players can try to get a new score on the new version. This will be announced nearer the time. Current beta patch notes ==================== * Tank health buffed by 10% * Kappa damage reduced from 50/100/300 to 8.25/33.3/92.5 * Kappa cost increased from 100/300/600 to150/550/950 * Flamers now only hit 3 enemies * Teleporter no longer blocks players * Teleporter is positioned better when placing * Graphics improved for grenades, mines and teleport pads * Coop Challenge 1 now works as expected * Resolved scaling issue on leaderboard * Slimers health reduced from 850 to 600 * Increased sword cost from 100 to 200 coins * Reduced sword radius from 2 to 1.25 * Heal tower now heals correctly and updates healed amount as expected * Kappa tower cost on info window now updated with new values

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!
