About Ark of Charon

The sacred World Tree has withered, and with it humanity.
Now that a new sapling has sprouted, you must become its caretaker and guide it so that life that once was may return.

Ark of Charon is a new type of game that combines colony simulation and tower defense, where players embark on a journey to guide a giant, beast-like sapling of a World Tree to its nursery. Players take on the role of the tree's caretaker, controlling Golems and turning the tree into a fortified mobile fortress as they progress on their journey.

Fight Back Against the Monsters


While on your journey, monsters will attack relentlessly.
Construct various weapons to combat them.

Gather Resources


Before doing anything else, you must gather resources.
Instruct your Golems to mine and harvest, collecting the necessary resources.

Construct Buildings


Stockpiling items, manufacturing ammunition, and building defenses are essential to protect the sapling.
As space atop the sapling is limited, you must construct efficiently in preparation for the journey.

Embark on a Journey


Once you are prepared, embark on your journey.
Check for what items are obtainable in the next area and carefully choose your destination.

Unlock Technology


Unlock the technology once used by the human inhabitants of this world and make use of it on your journey.
Occasionally, relics may be found underground, allowing you to create more powerful weapons and facilities.

It's a mixed bag of things really: + - Absolutely buy this game if you like OCD style management/marginal strategy games - - Don't buy it if you don't like the above style Little buggy in places, but does generate enormous amounts of satisfaction and frustration at the same time. Buy when it's on sale perhaps, otherwise skip it. It is not cute enough to carry flawed mechanics

Worth the price of admission! I had a good deal of fun with my ballistae :)

It's difficult and waste my time. The time for collecting resources is too f__king long, and time to move on is too short. Better play kingdom rush than this.

love this game, have been playing off and on since it came out. would love to see the developers come up with new features and content, e.g. a super fast play speed option!
Recommended May 7, 2026
Cool game! A very light-weight resource management/colony sim, with tower defense. The game of this type desperately need copy/paste recipes for production though. And performance takes a very heavy nosedive late-game. Has satisfying progression once you learn to navigate the game's quirks. Worth a buy on sale!
