About this game
Labyren is a medieval-themed Tower Defense game centered on multi-waypoint mazing and vision. While traversing through the campaign, discover countless unique strategies building with your ever-expanding arsenal and unravel the story underneath!
The campaign consists of handcrafted levels, each one providing opportunities for unique strategies to take place. Play at your own pace - spend time planning out the perfect labyrinth and watch your creations deny the unsuspecting challengers. Each level has several waves for you to get through - get through them all and win the level!
Upgrade towers with special buildings that provide various adjacency bonuses, such as increased damage, attack speed, or even extra vision in times of need. You can seamlessly integrate these buildings into your maze, so you don’t have to choose between extending the path or upgrading your towers.
Each level is designed with multiple strategies in mind. While the optimal strategies dwell in using a variety of buildings, feel free to experiment upgrading just one or two towers throughout a level or focus on making enemies travel an absurd path.
Features
Custom path-building by forming mazes with buildings
Multiple waypoints that enemies have to pass through
Vision system that's shared across all structures
Path blocking with barricades
Building upgrades through adjacenct building bonuses
Planning mode to preemptively plan out what your path will look like

Labyren is playable on Steam Deck!
Labyren demo is fully playable on Steam Deck! Making a Tower Defense game that is comfortably playable on a controller is a challenge in of itself, but if that's possible, then Steam Deck shouldn't be an exception. Most of the challenges arise in how to control selection and building placement. Controller glyphs in some shape or form are always present when you are expected to take an action. For example here, in free selection mode, you can cycle through built towers or incoming enemies with the Left Stick, and with a standard Submit button (A on the deck) you can inspect their stats. When building a new tower, helpful glyphs appear on the right side of the outline of the building, much like in the keyboard & mouse version. If buttons are accessible with the click of some button, that button's glyph appears on the button. Hope this helps!Read full article on Community Announcements (vegmuffin)
