Underground Space Wars

Check out our KickStarter page

 

We're raising $8,000 to pay artist to upgrade our placeholder graphics to real ones.

 

So far many core mechanics and principals have been made while being accompanied by placeholder graphics.

 

What is Underground Throne?

 

Underground Thone is a Dungeon RTS inspired by old classicl RTS games like Impossible Creatures, Dungeon Keeper and Tanktics.

Dungeon Keeper was too great of a game to let it fall into the Free-to-Pay route, so I decided to make my own spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper's legacy.

This game does not ship with any of that bogust Freemium scams, but is simply a 1-time payment app, like gaming should be.

It is currently in the AlphaPrime state and plans to be cross-platform between Linux, Mac and Windows thanks to Game Maker Studio.

The current build is being done in GameMaker 8.1.

 

 

Game Features:

 

A real time strategy in nicely created dungeon maps

Control a group of goons, minions and "kidnapped heroes" into your destiny of being the underground super power.

Pickup and drop your troops onto terrain

Digging your dungeon into total perfection while annihilating those who oppose.

Protect your dungeon command center while destroying enemy forces and their dungeon command center .

Build dynamic rooms and infrastructure

Train your minions

Fuse minions together to create freaks of nature with unstoppable strengths.

Smack a minion, like a boss.

NO FREE-TO-PLAY foolishness

NO PAY-TO-WIN nonsense
