About Dark Rising

Upgrade your castle, build towers, expand your village and train loyal pledges who will fight, and die at your command. Dark Rising is a tower defense game for anyone who's looking for a more in-depth approach to the popular genre. It strives to mix in real-time strategy features without losing sight of the tried and true tower defense format.

Expect waves and waves of zombies, ghosts, and deadly spiders attacking your castle. However, it's your choice how to defend yourself. You could stick with building outposts and towers. Sturdy defenses might do the trick. Or maybe you would prefer training up an army of adventurers who are willing to fight and die for your cause. The choice is up to you.
  • Equip soldiers with weapons and armor.
  • Simple resource management: balance population, food, and water in order to train more soldiers.
  • Customize your castle in adventure mode.
  • Undead zombies, spooky ghosts, lava golems, giant spiders and more.
  • 10 adventure levels of increasing difficulty.
  • Endless survival mode.
  • Steam Achievements and leader-boards
  • Steam Trading Cards(Coming after release)

If you like tower games this is a good game. It combines city building, weapon making, and gets harder by the minute. Very challenging. I'm horrible at tower games but really enjoying the game! The Developer is still working on upgrades based on user feedback. It puts a new spin on the term "Tower Game" Multiple play modes, a very good tutorial you can turn off or on at eatch stage, a built in game guide. And cost me less than 10 bucks.

Very basic game - controls, options, strategy - I would not purchase again.

One of the most rediculous games that I've ever played. Really appreciate the patience and persistency of those players who played this game for hours without deleting it right away and leave a negative comment like what I do.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
