Press release:
Barricadez, a side-scrolling tower defense survival game created by indie development studio FlyPenguin has left early access and is now fully available to purchase on PC via Steam and the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop at a price-point of €15.99/$18.99 (with a hefty 35% launch discount on Steam!).

Barricadez is set in a post-apocalyptic world in the near future, with humanity on the brink of extinction and the world infested by zombie-like creatures at night. As an all-purpose care robot, it is tasked to you to protect the cradle from these hostile creatures that are hellbent on destroying everything, including the child in the cradle.

ABOUT THE GAME
Barricadez is a side-scrolling tower defense game that combines survival mechanics such as resource gathering, crafting and upgrading with the aim of protecting the defenseless cradle against endless hordes of zombie-like creatures. Explore the underground world for resources to exploit, valuable blueprints and upgrades to acquire, going deeper and deeper for more rare resources. Prepare your traps and barricades during the day to hold out until dawn against the endless hordes of the zombie-like creatures through the night. Take advantage of the autocrafting system to automate crafting supplies and ammunition for your traps.

Arrange your base to tackle the variety of zombies and mutants, all of whom require a different approach to deal with. Killing the creatures gives you engrams, a resource that allows you to upgrade your skills and traps. Utilize the rotary and vertical excavators as extra sources of resource gathering, while drones allow you to automate the extraction of those materials. The creatures of the night will stop at nothing to destroy everything, it’s up to you to build a strong base to protect the last beacon of hope of humanity.

KEY FEATURES
