About Artificer's Tower

Artificer’s Tower is a cozy colony sim resource management game that features base-building, tower defense systems, and powerful enemies to defeat. You are tasked with building and defending an out-of-this-world tower that would make even Merlin himself proud! Keep your mages happy and your tower safe by building up your tower, gathering resources and crafting everything you might need. Build your tower however you like and unleash your inner architect wizard. It's like Hogwarts, but with more explosions (and less sorting hat drama).
Are you ready to let your architectural creativity run wild? Build the wizard tower of your wildest dreams - whether that's a snowman-shaped tower, or something even more bizarre. The possibilities are endless and the only limit is your imagination (and, you know, boxy rooms). So go ahead, unleash your inner wizard-architect, and design the tower you've always wanted!

Are you tired of dealing with unhappy, unproductive wizards? Keep your tower running like a well-oiled magical machine by managing your mages like the boss that you are, and train the next generation of powerful wizards! Pay generous wages, fulfill their needs, and teach them the ways of the wizard – watching as they grow from low-potential, bumbling novices to masterful artificers before your eyes!
What started as simple recipes will quickly become complex crafting chains as your ambitions grow and your mages advance. You'll want to invest research into administration so you can spend less time micromanaging to turn your essence into gold.
Are you tired of pesky monsters waltzing into your wizard tower uninvited? Want to keep your tower safe and secure? Fill your entrance with traps, and watch as the monsters drop like flies. Experiment with different types of traps – or even summon bosses you’ve defeated to help defend your tower – to find the perfect build for your tower's security.

Features:


  • Defend Your Base: Fill the entrance of your tower with traps and watch as the monsters trying to take down your tower drop like flies.
  • Manage Your Mages: Keep your tower running like a well-oiled magical machine by managing your mages. Pay them generous wages, fulfill their needs and keep them happy.
  • Summon Powerful Bosses: Challenge the biggest bad guys in their area and their lackeys. Show off your tower’s strength by defeating these foes and taking home all the bragging rights.
  • Train and Practice: Train your next generation of powerful wizards! Watch as they grow from low-potential, bumbling novices to full-fledged artificers.
  • Flex Your Alchemy Skills: Start with simple recipes and watch as your expertise grows and you can start making even more advanced items. Invest research into administration so you can spend less time micromanaging your mages.

I didint even get through the tutorial. This tower isint worth defending. its really ugly, and from minute one it forces you to build a disorganization heap isntead of a nice layout. The tutorial asked me to open a window that doesn't seem to exist and has no hotkey. Also, it wants a wierdly huge amount of micro like, second by second. also, this is just a personal thing, i think its very ugly. it looks like Gaia Online in the mid 2000s and that is not a look you wanna emulate. TLDR; This game is not cozy.

The game is ok'ish, but it doesn't click. Graphics are not really appealing and tutorial shows that gameplay loop is quite tedious even for the most simple tasks.

i dont know if it is the timing, or how badly explained everything is but i did not enjoy the game, there are artificial limits everywhere, like in how many rooms you may have of certain type and how much resources you may get per time. and atacks become harder and harder. feels like there is a one good strategy and all other ones are discouraged. the game is playable, but it wasnt entretaining

I had great fun playing this game! I like the art style and the progression system - theres about 10 ranks and on each rank up you specialise in something to make a super mage by the time they get to 10th level. There is a little bit of production chain mechanic to wrap your head around but its more about queue/bandwidth management that logistics as there is no motion between storage and work centre. The combat had me guessing a bit as combination of traps are key but there's no advice, i had to dip into my knowledge of other games/systems to figure it out. Thats probably accurate of the whole game to be honest, there was a lot of trial and error as the tutorial really doesn't teach you much and there is little in the way of tool tips. If you like that type of problem solving this game is for you. There was a couple of downsides in this game, neither of which are a turn off, but: 1) There so much clicking and sorting, I spent more than half my time in this game paused while I sort, filter, and name things. More automation mechanics would be awesome. 2) The art to winning this game is planning and learning the mechanics, rather than strategy and so there's no replayability …

I really enjoyed the game! It scratched an itch for a game with mages and management. The dev is very active and is still making upgrades, QOL fixes and squashes bugs on a weekly schedule to this day. Stand up guy.
