Terraform the Battlefield and Funnel Your Enemies Into Perfect Killzones

Brooklyn, New York (September 9, 2024) — Onewinter games – an indie solo developer with a lifelong passion for gaming – is thrilled to launch its premier title, Terrorformer TD. Currently available on Windows PC via Steam, Terrorformer TD marries the highly customizable nature of terraforming with the developer’s favorite genre, tower defense roguelites.

In Terrorformer TD, the map erodes and grows as the game progresses. Every round, the player fortifies their defenses to survive against waves of enemies; then cashes in at the shop for new towers, upgrades, and other rewards. Players gain XP and level up to unlock new abilities and components after each run, growing stronger the longer they play.

As the map changes, so does your strategy. Move enemy spawners, raise & lower tiles to redirect enemies into the line of fire, and evolve your tactics with the map as it grows. Unlock new procedurally generated maps, each with unique terraforming opportunities and base-building strategies. Grow along with the dynamic battlefield and design the right defenses for each playthrough’s challenges.

What began as a Master of Fine Arts thesis project quickly transformed into the pride and joy of solo developer TJ Cioffe of onewinter games, as he realized that this was a real opportunity to build upon previous tower defense staples and take the genre in his own direction. In doing so, Terrorformer TD has been carefully crafted to include all of the best elements of tower defense, while adding its own twists such as procedurally generated maps that can be terraformed, roguelike progression, online leaderboards, and weekly challenges.

“From its humble beginnings as a tech demo on itch.io, to a fully-fledged Steam release that saw over 2,000 players playtest it over the past six months, I am immensely proud of my work on Terrorformer TD and honored to share my take on the Tower Defense genre with the world!” says TJ Cioffe, creator of Terrorformer TD.

Key Features of Terrorformer TD:

• Terraform the Battlefield: Unlock new procedurally generated maps, each with unique terraforming opportunities and base-building strategies. Grow along with the dynamic battlefield and design the right defenses for each playthrough’s challenges.

• Assemble a Home Tower: Customize your Home Tower each run from the components you’ve unlocked, giving you access to special abilities, upgrades, and weapons! Earn dozens of permanent perks as you play and level up, increasing your survivability on each run.

• Choose Your Own Adventure: Unlocks, upgrades, and map erosion are randomized every round, so each playthrough is different. Try your hand at a harder difficulty, or see how long you can last using the Weekly Challenge’s loadout!

• Take on Enemy Hordes: Counter enemy abilities like Fortify, Warp, and Disable Tower with 25 unique towers that earn XP and level up, growing stronger as the game goes on. Mix-and-match defenses to find the best combination for each enemy challenge.

About onewinter games

onewinter games is an indie game studio specializing in strategy and simulation games based in Brooklyn and run by TJ Cioffe. TJ likes to joke that he learned math by counting rupees in the original NES Zelda; he’s been into game design and programming ever since he got his hands on the original DOOM’s level editor as a kid; and he’s been itching to make a tower defense game since the genre first originated in Warcraft and Starcraft maps. After spending his teens and twenties working in IT, he pivoted to game development in his mid-30s, heading back to school to get his MFA in Game Systems Design. Now, he’s excited to share his first published game with the world!
