About

Utopia Must Fall is a vector-flavored base-defending arcade shooter with rapid progression, procedurally generated attack waves and enough upgrade variety to suit both the defensive or aggressive player. It incorporates elements from tower defense, roguelikes and beyond, all neatly packaged into a laser-sharp bullet-purgatory arcade frenzy! Easy To Learn : firing happens automatically, just steer the city's turret and launch the occasional sky-clearing nuclear warhead. Each day of survival is rewarded with an upgrade for your defenses, choose wisely to keep humanity alive for as long as possible. Sizable Upgrade Tree : progress is fast and allows you to pick strategies to suit your playing style — beef up your rail gun into a multi-barrel death machine, strengthen your shield's auto defense abilities, deploy and configure an array of autonomous battle drones and laser turrets, or go all out on aggression and see out Utopia's final days with a stockpile of nukes and a shotgun the size of a building. Arcade-Focused : there is no meta-progression (yet). In Utopia, all universes are created equal, and death is final. Earn upgrades and unlock new abilities by completing mini-challenges as you defend the city. Get good to get the good stuff! Laser-Shiny : built with our brand-new V99 graphics engine, bringing you the retro-modern vector arcade style you didn't know you needed yet. Darkly Humorous : the world is ending soon, what else is there left to do but laugh? Affordable : reasonably priced to help offset the unreasonable cost of everything else. This game is a work-in-progress . Please contact us in the Utopia Must Fall category on the Pixeljam Discord or in the Steam forums to give feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions, etc.
