Our take on Engineered To Purpose
Instead of treating tower defence units as fixed tools, the game makes their construction part of the strategy. Components, attack modifiers, and targeting choices become the objects of experimentation, with tower changes possible during missions or in a testing workshop.
What is Engineered To Purpose?
Engineered To Purpose is a work-in-progress sci-fi tower defence game with a story-driven campaign.
Players create towers by combining components and assigning attack modifiers, including targeting choices. Towers can be adjusted during a level when space allows or between missions in a workshop. The workshop allows testing against previously encountered enemies while displaying the effects of design choices. The current demo includes the first campaign chapter, tower construction, enemy encounters, and workshop testing. The vendor lists two additional worlds, more components, enemy types, maps, gameplay modifiers, post-campaign advancement, and additional replay modes as planned content. The setting explores posthumanism, family, and change in a far-future world.
