Press release:
[Vancouver, BC, Canada – March 12th, 2024].
The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer RodentGames today announced with great happiness and thrill that their cozy colony sim/tower defense game “Artificer’s Tower“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Get a closer look at various characters, their roles, and how they intertwine together in the trailer!

Artificer’s Tower features base-building, tower defense systems, and powerful enemies to defeat. You are tasked with building and defending an out-of-this-world tower that would make even Merlin himself proud! Build your base however you see fit and unleash your inner architect wizard while keeping your mages happy and safe. Construct your tower, gather resources, and craft everything you might need for your mystical abode.

Along the way, you’ll need to craft a plethora of materials – of which there is no shortage – to enhance your tower. With a never-ending thirst for new materials and an insatiable desire to create more complex items, you’ll need an administrative assistant just to keep track of all your recipes. Thankfully, your mages can be trained to craft a variety of materials to aid you in building the tower of your wildest dreams.

Artificer’s Tower allows you to select your mages and students, along with their traits and duties. Pay their wages, research to keep up with their demands, train them, and keep them happy – all while defending your tower from pesky orcs and goblins.

But building your magical tower is only part of the experience. In Artificer’s Tower, you’ll need to defend your creation by filling your entrance with traps, and watch as invading monsters collapse in large numbers. There are plenty of ways to keep your structure secure, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different traps along the way.
Features:

Defend Your Base: Fill the entrance of your tower with traps and watch as the monsters trying to take down your tower drop like flies.
Manage Your Mages: Keep your tower running like a well-oiled magical machine by managing your mages. Pay them generous wages, fulfill their needs and keep them happy.

Summon Powerful Bosses: Challenge the biggest bad guys in their area and their lackeys. Show off your tower’s strength by defeating these foes and taking home all the bragging rights.

Train and Practice: Train your next generation of powerful wizards! Watch as they grow from low-potential, bumbling novices to full-fledged artificers.
Flex Your Alchemy Skills: Start with simple recipes and watch as your expertise grows and you can start making even more advanced items. Invest research into administration so you can spend less time micromanaging your mages.

Artificer’s Tower is available for PC via Steam with Steam Deck support for $14.99 (with a 20% off launch discount for $11.99) now.
