Engaging Story Campaign and Diverse Challenge Modes
IDUN, named after the Norse goddess of youth, begins as humanity lands on a planet bearing her name. This unique game blends real-time strategy (RTS) and tower defense mechanics, allowing players to move turrets freely. The primary goal is to extract sufficient resources from the planet before being overrun by waves of enemy forces.
The game includes a traditional story-driven campaign, alongside various challenging modes. In the campaign, players follow the protagonist as they embark on a journey across the IDUN planet, where a gripping tale of love, deception, and death unfolds.
The challenge modes include different gameplay scenarios such as defending collection points, escorting nuclear vehicles, surviving as a group of survivors, and protecting mining carts. Players will face off against swarms of enemies with varying difficulty levels, earning resources to advance their technology and strengthen their forces.
RTS and Tower Defense Hybrid Gameplay
As a game that combines RTS and tower defense mechanics, “IDUN” features overwhelming enemy swarms that fill the screen. Players often face vast hordes of enemies in a battle for survival. With fully destructible terrain and smooth AI pathfinding, the swarms can attack from multiple directions, making the battlefield dynamic and unpredictable.
Players must balance the micro-management demands of RTS gameplay, coordinating diverse combat units to maintain a solid frontline. At the same time, they must strategically plan defenses like in a tower defense game, adjusting to complex and multi-layered maps.
Beyond the battlefield, players will use the resources gathered from combat to plan out technology upgrades, ensuring they have the necessary tools to face the growing threats.
