Game Summary
 
Crystal Reign puts you in control of a customisable tower built from distinct layers of siege weaponry. An ancient army is rising and it’s up to you to aim your various armaments at this automated armada to knock them back down.
 
Background Story
 
After discovering a near limitless supply of power in the form of magical crystals, the world found itself in something of an arms race. In this quest for bigger and more zappy means of elimination scientists began to experiment with the crystals and from this, the Arcanalith were built. Drawing on the power of the crystals, these mechanical soldiers fought with such power that the people of the world were forced to leave their homes and take refuge in the mountains, far from the chaos below.
 
Centuries on, the Arcanalith have long since wiped each other out and the people go about their daily lives in their mountainous homes. However, unbeknownst to these peaceful villagers, far below the fog of war that separates the peaks from the old battlegrounds something has begun to stir.
 
As the Arcanalith rise from the earth, it is up to the player to knock them back down. To achieve this goal we’ll be supplying various forms of siege weaponry and magical defences that we advise aiming at the mystical robots that will be attacking. Over time, players will earn new layers and be able to build taller towers as they move onwards to take on the biggest and most dangerous of the Arcanalith.

Technically, yes!

It wouldn't be listed under the "Tower Defense" genre with games like Sol Survivor, Defence Grid and Gemcraft but you definitely are a tower and you are definitely on the defensive.

 

The actual gameplay is more like Angry Birds x R-Type, pinging weaponry at enemies coming from the other side of the screen.

For any of you that are able to make it to Dundee between the 8th and 11th of August, Criss Cross Games (along with Hunted Cow) will be appearing at Dare Protoplay and will be showing off Crystal Reign!

Come and get a better look at this guy, he's obviously taunting you!
