HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia

HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia is a steampunk strategy game in the tower defense genre. Build, upgrade, and defend your ship. Take part in an amazing adventure.
You command a flying frigate, Arcadia. Break through waves of enemies to uncover the mystery of the fallen captain.
This isn’t the kind of game where you can just “place a few towers and call it a day”: you build a single, interconnected energy network out of weapons and other ships. Lose just one node, and your entire defense can be left powerless.

Every battle feels different—temporary boost modules and mission conditions change the rules, forcing you to adapt and try new strategies. Enemies don’t follow neat little paths; they press in from all sides, using cunning tactics and elaborate ways to reach Arcadia’s crew.

Between missions, you return to Arcadia. You reinforce weapons, and recover lost technologies. Progress is permanent, but every battle reshuffles threats, resources, and decisions. The ship grows stronger while the margin for error shrinks.

Dive into an exciting journey through the “weeping” world of Khoral aboard the legendary frigate.
- Tower defence in motion
The battlefield is not static. The ship is constantly moving. Your defence lives and adapts while in motion. - Every battle is unique through roguelike structure
No strategy works twice. Decisions must be made on the fly. - An energy network instead of isolated towers
Turrets, collectors, and modules are bound to a shared energy system. Destroy one node and half of your defence can lose power. - Celestial aesthetic
Levels inspired by classic RTS games, hand-painted with obsessive attention to detail.

HEXSTORM: Tears of Arcadia is a story of betrayal, recovery, and repeated attempts to keep control over a machine that may be thinking more than it lets on.
