This patch is an important one - read on for the full details!
Flame Towers
===========
We have known for a long while that something had to be done with flame towers. When we first introduced them, it was possible to spam them to get very high scores. Obviously this goes completely against our target for the game so very quickly damage was reduced whilst we work things out.
In this patch, we have managed to put the tower damage exactly where they should be and they feel great - not too powerful but also not too weak, they're a massive consideration now and feel players can finally use them in a successful high scoring strategy.
We also wanted to achieve a fear of the flame protector boss. As people wasn't using flame towers in their strategy, the flame protector was simply just a high health boss with no annoyance. Therefore, now that flame towers are very balanced, we have buffed the protection a flame protector provides from 50% to 75%. These guys can now really ruin your day if you spam flame towers too much, so be careful.
Drone Towers
===========
When we first introduced drone towers, we simply copied and pasted the machinegun tower damage. When a new tower is introduced we have to be extremely careful about making a tower too powerful, given the extremely competitive nature of the game and the 100's of high scores people have achieved. Therefore a good starting point was the machinegun tower. The issue was, everyone knew that this wasn't balanced because half of the time drone towers are flying to or from their target, so it didn't make sense to build them.
Well we're glad to announce now that we have finally spent the time balancing and testing the new drone towers and just like flame towers, they're super interesting to now include in a strategy. A level 2 drone tower will easily kill the green guy at the start of the game and you'll be surprised just how much damage they can do once levelled up if used correctly.
Kappa Towers
===========
Ever since day one, there has been an issue with kappa towers however it was so hard to notice, that nobody noticed....except for one of our players! Once they reported it, we checked it out, found the issue and have resolved it! What was happening was that if an enemy walked in the way of the current kappa tower target, it would actually damage the enemy that walked in the way and then switch back to the correct target. Kappa towers will now work exactly as you expect them to and we've tested the fix to work perfectly every time.
Tower Descriptions
===============
Due to balance reasons, some of the towers have a hard limit on how many enemies they can hit at once, therefore we have updated the descriptions to better tell players how they work. Grenade towers have always hit a maximum of 5 enemies at once and the flame tower a maximum of 4, however players are now told this in game.
Level Cleanup
===========
Small one but still worth mentioning, we've cleaned up some of the textures on Desert 5 and Forest 7 and we've also fixed some of the annoyances with 'that' cactus on Desert 5!

The Game includes VR Support
AegisM Early Access Linux Depot [3.43 G]
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!- Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core ProcessorMemory: 4 GB RAM
