From Press Release:
LONDON (March 9, 2026) – Pilot your mech-drill into colossal alien pillars. Collect resources, come back to defend your base. Reach the top, no matter how many operators it takes. ITER-8, a roguelite mining and tower defense mashup, is available now from publisher Fireshine Games and developer fluckyMachine on PC for $12.99 with a 25% discount at launch https://store.steampowered.
com/app/2832310/ITER8/ Congratulations, Operator No. 8, you have been randomly selected for the ITER Corporation’s exciting vertical ventures department. Drill the pillars that encircle our homeworld, extract essential resources and try not to get obliterated in the process. If you fail, don’t worry, your replacement will be along shortly – probably with a better attitude. Today’s release was accompanied by a new training video showcasing just what goes into your exciting new role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=2mI1GJR07zs Master the art of roguelite mining, extraction automation and tower defense in ITER-8’s journey, where every Operator is expendable. Carve through sprawling caves packed with resources and puzzles while extracting rare upgrades to reinforce your base and survive swarms of hostile mechanoids, all in pursuit of the impossible: reaching ever closer to the top, one doomed, replaceable Operator at a time.
Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream – and to do so is a waste of valuable company time. You wouldn’t want to force ITER to replace you so soon, would you?
