Border Pioneer will be part of the Steam Next Fest next week, offering players not one, but three different genres in one 'pixel perfect' city environment: city building, RTS, and tower defence. Granted, they often go hand-in-hand, but three is definitely not a crowd.
From Yahzj Games and Yogcast Games (The Holy Gosh Darn), your job is to build a fortress and defend it from invaders. According to the words in front of me, as a city builder, you get to place your castle, and also the bushes. Whoever thought of a war-time bush strategy? It could work.
Key features of Border Pioneer include:
- Build Your Town from Scratch - Transform barren lands into bustling settlements! Start with basic structures and gradually unlock new buildings and units as you progress.
- Build Your Deck! - Choose from over 200 unique cards to construct your perfect deck. Use your cards with skill and timing to overcome challenges and build your town efficiently.
- Defend Against Relentless Threats - the end of each month, enemies will attempt to destroy the town you so carefully built! Fortify your defenses and repel increasingly powerful waves of attackers!
- Prove Your Worth as a Pioneer - Manage resources, plan your town's layout, and make crucial decisions to ensure your town's survival and growth.
A Border Pioneer demo will be playable during the Steam Next Fest, starting the 14th of October 2024.
