Our take on Artificer's Tower
The defining detail is a customizable wizard tower whose rooms, mage workforce, crafting, and trapped entrance are all managed as parts of the same colony-simulation and defense game.
What is Artificer's Tower?
Artificer's Tower combines colony simulation, resource management, base construction, crafting, and tower defense.
Build a wizard tower with boxy rooms, gather resources, and arrange the base to suit an individual design. Manage mages by paying wages, meeting their needs, and training novices to become artificers. Crafting begins with simple recipes and develops into more complex chains for advanced items. Research includes administration, which can reduce mage micromanagement. Monsters attack the tower, and traps can be placed at its entrance to defend the base. The game also includes boss encounters; bosses that have been defeated can be summoned to help protect the tower.
