Our take on Outpost

The bounce point comes when temporary upgrades, permanent improvements, and diamond spending across the outpost compete for attention. Players seeking a direct combat loop may stop at this resource-management layer, before the next defence wave begins.

What is Outpost?

Outpost combines tower defence with mining and base construction.

Robots mine diamonds, which are spent on several aspects of the outpost. Players build and protect the outpost while fighting waves of enemies and upgrading weapons. Temporary upgrades matter during encounters, while permanent upgrades provide longer-term progression. The game also includes a mechanic for returning to an earlier point before danger arrives.

How Outpost plays

01Robot diamond mining: Robots gather diamonds that can be spent on several aspects of the outpost.
02Wave-based defence: The outpost must be kept safe while enemies arrive in waves.
03Temporary upgrades: Short-term improvements contribute to defence during encounters.
04Permanent upgrades: Long-term improvements provide progression beyond temporary combat changes.
05Outpost construction: Building is combined with resource gathering and defence.
