“The Industrial Update” adds drones, skill tree, and new cities for vector arcade roguelite Utopia Must Fall – now live

From Press Release:

The game incorporates elements from classic arcade shooters, tower defense, roguelikes and beyond, all neatly packaged into a laser-sharp bullet-purgatory arcade frenzy about Earth’s last metropolis defending itself against a mysterious alien invasion.

It’s made with our V99 Engine, which accurately emulates the look of classic vector-scan monitors from the golden age of arcades.  It has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, and was also nominated for Excellence in Audio at the most recent Independent Game Festival in San Francisco.

  • A detailed skill tree to visualize and assist your upgrade path
  • Automated battle drones with configurable paramaters to suit your playing style
  • New upgrades, nukes, enemies, balances and more
