Acid Planet

Acid Planet is set on a world where humanity has been nearly wiped out and colossal bio-monsters called Kaiju roam the planet. You play as a clone working for SCAV Corporation, carrying out Kaiju salvage operations from an orbital station. Your priority is to capture Kaiju cores; if you die, you are cloned again.

Defend your ship

Before a Kaiju arrives, you repel waves of enemies using automatic defenses, personal weapons and drones. Build towers and drone factories, place them strategically in the environment, and balance your weapons and defenses against upgrades and your economy. You can also move your crew member to help your auto-shooting defenses fight the swarms, and command armies of drones.

Survive the desert

Between waves, you can meet the desert’s denizens in encounters that offer risks and rewards. After each wave, choose a new ability or upgrade, and evolve weapons and towers into different forms. Survive long enough to face a massive Kaiju; each boss has unique, devastating abilities.

Missions and progression

The game has 7 missions, each with a unique Kaiju boss. Recovered Kaiju cores boost your abilities between runs, while post-run progression lets you unlock more than 25 items. There are over 50 perks, buildings and weapons, along with Hotshot and Freak difficulties; Freak stars let you raise the difficulty further. Perks and stats include weapon sub-types, ship back-ups and the Shield Charger support tower.
