Overview

Beta – test server – Test build for the beta test server. Features and values may still change before the final release; please report bugs.

[RKD] Command brings whole game modes into your world – without commands, through the game lobby. Everyone gets the [RKD] Console once on first join; right-click opens the lobby with all rooms. A room sets mode, map, tower set and difficulty, everyone marks ready, and off you go into a separate arena dimension. Inventory, position and game mode are saved beforehand (even across a crash) and given back afterwards – then you return to the room with the result.

Playable are co-op tower defense (1–8 players, also solo) and the battle (2–8 teams with respawn, optionally with headquarters, barracks, workshop, mine and units that fight along).

Game lobby

Room list with filter, password, spectating; in the room mode, map (with preview), tower set, difficulty, waves, shared or own gold, fair mode, teams, ready, room chat and invites with one click.

Tower defense

Build a maze of towers, stop creeps from the portal to the exit; gold for kills, wave gold and interest. Easy to Nightmare and Endless, up to 80 waves with bosses.

6 maps, 4 tower sets

Classic, Serpentine, Crossing, Island, Castle ruin, Lanes. Sets Classic, Elements, Mechanics and Nature with 8 roles each and two branches at level 5.

Shop, lexicon, minimap

Research, 12 power-ups, crystals and modules for sockets, relics after boss waves; a tower lexicon with damage table; a clickable minimap and big map – you can even build straight from the map.

Roguelike meta & fair mode

[RKD] coins and levels across games, perks, unlocks and cosmetics in the lobby shop. Fair mode turns gameplay perks off; in co-op perks are averaged across the team.

Battles

Team deathmatch, conquest and destroy the base on freshly generated maps; with RTS-light: build buildings, mine ore, train soldiers, archers, scouts and golems, control them in the command view.

Mini-games

Forge rhythm (hammer to the beat) and ore sorting speed up training and income – scored on the server.

With [RKD] Arsenal

In battle everyone gets an assault rifle, pistol and grenades; Command registers the teams with Arsenal so there is no friendly fire.

Lobby: how to start a game

Right-click with the [RKD] Console opens the lobby with all rooms.
Create makes a room; as host you choose mode, map, tower set, difficulty and more.
Others join (or you invite them – the invite is a clickable chat message).
Everyone clicks Ready, the host Start: off to the arena; afterwards you return to the room.

Tower defense

As builder you fly over the field: hotbar 1–8 are the towers of the set, a ghost shows the spot, the range and the new creep route; right-click builds. A path must always remain. Clicking a tower opens its panel: upgrade, choose a branch at level 5, socket and module, targeting, sell.

Battle

Team fights with respawn on generated maps. With RTS-light every team has a headquarters; in the command view (V) you select units, send them off and build barracks, workshop and mine. Mini-games at the buildings speed up production.

Command view: headquarters and mine, 7 units selected, the build bar at the bottom. — **Command view**: headquarters and mine, 7 units selected, the build bar at the bottom.Real screenshot of a development build (game language English)
