Mainframe Defenders

Mainframe Defenders is a tactical retrofuturistic strategy game where players face an intriguing challenge: a computer virus has infiltrated the “Stargazer” research complex, taking control of its robotic units. As the commander, you lead a squad of four prototypes on a mission to defend the complex mainframe against relentless assaults and restore order to the facility.

Throughout the game, you will engage in various tasks, including repelling enemy attacks, destroying unit fabricators, and downloading valuable data, all while combating the virus's influence. Players must strategically build their squad by balancing item limitations and drawbacks to create powerful combinations. The game's combat encourages diverse tactics—overheating foes, dealing corrosive damage, or utilizing powerful one-shot eliminations—all while being prepared for unpredictable enemy counters.

With hand-crafted rooms integrated into procedural generation, players experience unique missions with varying objectives and conditions. Victory unlocks new units and items, enhancing the depth of gameplay as you explore a blend of retro graphics and a synthwave soundtrack, channeling the spirit of older gaming eras. Will you rise to the challenge and defend the Mainframe?
