What is Acid Planet?

This single-player, top-down action roguelite follows a corporate clone recovering monster cores on a planet overrun by bio-monsters. In mission-based runs, you construct towers and drone factories, move your fighter through enemy swarms, and defend your ship until a giant boss arrives. You choose upgrades between waves and spend recovered cores to improve abilities between runs.

For you if...

+you enjoy planning around terrain and defensive placement
+you like balancing combat spending against economy upgrades

Not for you if...

−you want cooperative battles rather than single-player runs
−you prefer automated defenses without directly controlling a fighter
