Huge update now live! New maps, bug fixes, performance + more!

Overview ======== In this update we bring 2 new maps (one is replaced), rework an old map, bring massive performance benefits, improved the AI to give us more opportunities with maps in the future and done some great work to enable us to create maps faster. New maps ======== First up we have Desert 6 which is a recommended 1-3 player map. For this map we reworked the AI pathing to enable us to have maps whereby the enemies cross over on the same lane. This makes for a so far unique challenge in AegisM and is quite forgiving, therefore we have made it the default map - a change from Forest 4.
Next up, we have replaced Desert 1. Historically Desert 1 was hardly ever played, it was an early experiment for us which told us a lot about what players enjoy. Therefore we have removed it from the game and introduced a brand new Desert 1 map which can be enjoyed by many. This map is recommended for 2-3 players.
Performance ========== A lot has been done in the past in regards to performance but in this update a lot of old code has been reworked and has made things a lot more efficient. We have seen 3 player games at over 17,000 kills still pulling over 100fps! This was absolutely unthinkable prior to this update so hopefully you can feel the difference with this update. Forest 4 ======= Due to the AI work that has been carried out in this patch, Forest 4 now plays slightly different and is faster than before. Prior to this update it would only spawn one enemy in a choice of one of three lanes, whereas now, if a map has three lanes then there will be three enemies spawn at once. This is true of all maps going forward - an enemy will spawn in each lane, consistently. This now enables Forest 4 scores to go much higher than ever before so we do not need to clear any scores for this map as they will naturally progress over time.
Conclusion ========= This is a huge update that brings some fresh ideas to explore and experiment with. As always, we have huge ambitions for the game going forward and updates will continue to fly in as we constantly look to improve the game. Enjoy!

    AegisM Early Access Linux Depot [3.43 G]

  • Public Linux depots



  • 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!
