About This Game
Pilot the fortress island you built with your own hands, crush the monster tides, and escape the floating archipelago!
Aeriea is a laid-back action game that blends tower-defense building, roguelike, and survivor gameplay. With lightweight controls and endless combat possibilities, experience the thrill of "taking your fortress into battle"!
The Kids Just Want to Go Home
One day, a group of hospitalized children wake up to find themselves transported to a mysterious floating island realm—Aeriea.
There, they're attacked by countless monsters and forced to pick up weapons and build towers to defend themselves.
But gradually, the children realize that all of this seems to be orchestrated by a giant known as the "Creator"—who is thoroughly enjoying himself, teasing them one moment and helping them the next.
So... how exactly are they supposed to get home?
Build Tower Defenses
In Aeriea, you can craft your tower-defense island on a space of nearly 1,500 tiles, then set sail and explore the world with it.
Bombs, turrets, walls, mechanisms, traps... With over a hundred different buildables at your disposal, challenge yourself to build the most efficient battlefield yet!
Forge Your Weapons
Aeriea currently features 40+ unique weapons, each with its own distinctive performance and growth tendencies.
You can equip multiple weapons at once—and as you unlock more content, the number of weapons you can equip simultaneously will keep growing.
Collect them all and see what kind of chemistry they create with the tower defenses on your island!
Venture Out and Gather Materials
Aeriea uses a procedural map system: in every battle, your tower-defense island links up with randomized terrain—there's always a map you've never seen before!
Each battle also features a unique event timeline, bringing random quests, monster lineups, and surprise events for fresh challenges every run!
Pro tip: set sail and have fun when the wind is at your back—but when it turns against you, don't forget to retreat to the safety of your tower-defense island!
