Dark Rising

Dark Rising is a strategy game that mixes the play styles of tower defense and real time strategy (RTS). You must build towers, train soldiers, and equip them with the best weapons and armor to withstand the undead hoard. Every wave the enemy gain strength, only wise planning and the bravest soldiers can prevent this apocalypse.

The game will have two modes of play, a "Survival" mode and an "Adventure" mode. Fight until the death to break high-scores and unlock achievements in survival mode. Or, in adventure mode you can play through a series of increasingly difficult levels. In-between each level you will have a chance to customize your castle to your liking.

Features

• Base Building
• Equip soldiers with weapons and armor.
• Soldiers gain experience while fighting.
• Simple resource management: balance population, food, and water in order to train more soldiers.
• Customize your castle in adventure mode.
• Undead zombies, spooky ghosts, larva golems, giant spiders and more.
• Full game will have around 10 adventure levels of increasing difficulty.
• Endless survival mode.
• Online leader-boards (requires game-jolt account).

Please note that Dark Rising is currently in development and some of these features are not yet implemented.
