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.
While on your journey, monsters will attack relentlessly.
Construct various weapons to combat them.
Before doing anything else, you must gather resources.
Instruct your Golems to mine and harvest, collecting the necessary resources.
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.
Once you are prepared, embark on your journey.
Check for what items are obtainable in the next area and carefully choose your destination.
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 really hard to find a good tower defense game but although this was i did enjoy quite a bit it does have its flaws the devs really had something with this game but dropped it as soon as they finished it its still good but its like one of those things that could easily be improved having to keep ammo stocked for turrets is a nice challenge because in this game you need to balance your resources because you will never know what you will be able to keep in stock especially if you play the roguelite mode which is much harder2 found this helpful
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.
peaker than peak twins
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!
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!
