About Archipelago

Archipelago is a tower defense game about defending randomly generated islands. Setup your defenses, manage your income, and find powerful charms to repel the enemy. Archipelago introduces tension and strategy to the tower defense genre.

Setup defenses



Choose the right mix of units and their placement to maximize both your income and your odds of surviving the wave.

Find the perfect strategy



Take advantage of combinations of units and the environment to find the perfect strategy to repel the enemy.

Find powerful charms



Manage your income



Archipelago is all about risk/reward. Units must be paid a salary every wave. Play it safe with a lot of units, or take a risk with a few units but a higher income.

Ugly, difficult, and annoying little game . . .Still somewhat addictive! I came close to uninstall it about 10 times in the first 8 minutes, but somehow managed to play it for 3 hours already (!) Full disclosure: I have yet to win my first battle! :/ 10/10 Absolute Love/Hate relationship !

The concept is alright but the UI needs work. The game forces you to click on buildings all the time to build things when it could all be in one side window with tabs instead.

A great maze tower defense game. The time you see is how long it took me to finish it. 3.5 hours. Although short it is very well done. Different types of troops, traps and enemies keep you on your toes. Totally worth the price. ( I paid $4.99) At the start of each map and as soon as you place your base down the enemy attack path shows up and you can plan your strategy from there. Satisfaction of a well-planned defense is almost as fun as seeing what didn't work. Enjoy. After you finish the initial game you can play endless mode. The islands are randomly generated so no two games will be the same. (if you don't like the map, start over.)

Tower defense. I don't see the 'rogue-like' unless it is the randomization of the levels...otherwise it is short and unfortunately not what I expected.
