About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Prepare for the onslaught! Chromatrix is a retro tower defense game where color and placement are everything. Upgrade and customize your turrets to counter shifting enemy-types and map configurations. Manage your resources and craft the perfect defense against any attack!

Chromatrix is a continuously evolving, retro-style Tower Defense game where you protect your tiles from relentless enemy waves. Study a variety of enemy types, both flying and ground-based, and master the unique interactions between shapes and colors to perfectly match your defenses to each increasingly challenging wave. Prepare for intense battles with powerful bosses at the end of every wave!

FEATURES:

  • Full Spectrum of Colorful Turrets: Explore deep strategic gameplay with branching upgrade paths for your turrets.

  • Dynamic Shop System and Economy: Unlock new upgrades and features available for purchase between levels. Module fusion allows for further growth and enhancement.

  • Semi-Randomized Waves: Conquered levels can always surprise you with unpredictable enemy formations.

  • Epic Boss Battles: Put your skills to the test with formidable bosses at the end of each wave.

  • Retro-Inspired Graphics and Soundtrack: Enjoy a polished experience that evokes the charm of classic Sega and Atari games.

  • Intuitive Turret Placement and Upgrade System: Easily place and upgrade turrets using a grid-based, color-coded system.

CRAFT YOUR MASTER PLAN – AND WATCH IT PLAY OUT

Manage your turrets and strategically counter enemies by leveraging their color-coded strengths and weaknesses. Each turret has two branching upgrade paths, allowing for unique strategies to emerge and evolve as you play.

EXPLORE A COMPLEX UPGRADE TREE

Every turret not only has its own elemental color and traits – red turrets are most effective against red targets, blue turrets excel against blue, and so on – but also features two branching upgrade paths, allowing for diverse playstyles and strategies. Discover the tactics that suit your approach best – and wreak havoc on your enemies!
