Solo developer qLate and indie publisher indie.io announced the release of Everwarder, a unique mix of roguelite action and tower defense. Launching on February 6th on Steam, this neon-soaked adventure challenges players to protect a trapped spirit while battling back encroaching darkness.
In Everwarder, you take on the role of a mystical guardian whose mission is to defend a crystal containing their imprisoned friend. As darkness creeps across the map, waves of enemies emerge, threatening the crystal’s safety. To survive, you must: strategically place defenses to hold off enemies, engage in fast-paced combat, taking an active role in battles, and explore procedurally generated maps, uncovering resources and secrets to gain an edge.
This isn’t your typical tower defense game. Unlike static defense systems, Everwarder allows free movement, giving you full control over the map. Not only you have to protect your crystal but also push back the darkness by revealing hidden areas, gathering supplies, and adapting to ever-changing challenges. Eventually, you will unlock new abilities, artifacts, and upgrades, allowing for powerful builds tailored to your playstyle.
According to Oleh, the solo developer behind qLate, Everwarder was created to shake up the tower defense genre: “I wanted to create something that breaks away from the static nature of traditional tower defense games. In Everwarder, you control the flow of enemies, making it entirely your responsibility if they overwhelm your defenses.”
