Game Overview

Developed by Angoo—a studio formed by veterans from Sunsoft and Capcom—"Ark of Charon" is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the World Tree has withered and life has vanished. Players assume the role of a caretaker guiding a giant sapling of the World Tree, fending off monster attacks and building defenses as they travel. The game combines resource gathering, defense construction, and strategic decision-making as players protect the sapling on its journey to safety.

Key Features:

• Monster Attacks: Defend the sapling against relentless monster attacks using a variety of weapons and defenses.

• Resource Gathering: Direct Golems to gather essential resources for construction and upgrades.

• Efficient Construction: With limited space on the sapling, players must manage their construction carefully to build effective defenses and weaponry.

• Technology Unlocking: Unlock ancient human technologies to improve the sapling's defenses and discover powerful relics.

With its unique gameplay mix and strategic depth, "Ark of Charon" offers a fresh take on the tower defense genre. The official release on November 7, 2024, promises to bring even more content and exciting updates for both new and returning players.
