ArcaneOutpost

ArcaneOutpost is a strategy game that combines tower defense and MOBA elements. You play as a mage and guardian of the arcane arts, establishing outposts on dangerous, uninhabited frontiers. Build up production and defenses, withstand enemy waves, and use the Arcane Core to purify the region.

Prepare and fight

Play alternates between a preparatory phase for making decisions and a combat phase for resisting enemies. Enemies do not attack while you build, and building upgrades do not interrupt your use of skills in combat. You choose building upgrade tiers and enhancement abilities to suit each battle, then control guardians on the battlefield, using positioning and skill deployment to strike enemies.

Each guardian has four skills, each with several modes that can be switched to serve different functions. The basic map mode offers a straightforward challenge; for a harder one, you can select mutation factors that strengthen enemies and weaken you, with the aim of earning higher scores.

Maps and missions

The game includes three maps with missions. You can play as three heroes, each with 11 skill variants, and build from five types of turret branches and five types of barracks branches. There are 24 enhancement options, dozens of enemies and variants, and three bosses with unique mechanics.
