About
Build towers, control your hero directly on the battlefield, cast spells, and continuously develop your strategy. Fight alone or in co-op against increasingly powerful waves of monsters and create your perfect defense.
In Arrival of Beasts you actively control your hero. Build structures, repair towers, cast spells, and collect items. Your hero becomes a central part of your defense and opens up entirely new strategic possibilities.
More than 44 unique monsters and 35 bosses attack your base.
Some monsters have special abilities, while others strike from a distance and can destroy your defenses. Only a well-planned strategy will allow you to survive the increasingly powerful waves.
Construct more than 10 different towers and upgrade them up to level 8.
Each tower has unique properties and opens up new tactical possibilities. Combine different defensive strategies to defeat even the strongest monsters.
Equip your towers with modules to grant them new effects.
Modules can be combined, upgraded, and further enhanced. This allows you to create powerful synergies and unique defensive strategies.
Create a team and fight together against the waves of monsters.
Support each other, share resources, and develop new strategies together to overcome the most challenging maps.

Man spürt wieviel Liebe der Solo-Developer in dieses Spiel gesteckt hat. Tonnenweise Karten, Monster, Türme, Skills. Gib dem Spiel eine Chance, ansonsten verpasst du etwas. Klare Empfehlung!!
Best challenging tower defense I played in a long time! I would say this game is easy to play and hard to master.
Ist ganz OK.
Wenn ihr auf der Suche nach einem richtig guten Tower-Defense-Spiel seid, dann kann ich euch "Arrival of Beasts" wärmstens empfehlen! Ich habe mittlerweile 195 Stunden in dieses Spiel investiert und kann einfach nicht genug davon bekommen. Was mir besonders gefällt, ist die Tiefe des Spiels. Es gibt so viele verschiedene Türme, Upgrades und Strategien, dass es einfach nie langweilig wird. Die Kampagne ist herausfordernd und spannend, und der Endlosmodus ist perfekt für alle, die einfach mal abschalten und sich in die Verteidigung ihrer Basis vertiefen wollen. Ein weiteres Highlight sind die regelmäßigen Updates und die offenen Ohren des Entwickler. Der Entwickler ist super engagiert und immer bereit, sich Vorschläge und Ideen der Community anzuhören. Das macht das Spielgefühl noch besser, weil man merkt, dass das Feedback wirklich ernst genommen wird. Ich könnte stundenlang weitermachen, aber kurz gesagt: Wenn ihr Tower-Defense mögt und ein Spiel sucht, das sowohl herausfordernd als auch fair ist, dann ist "Arrival of Beasts" genau das Richtige für euch. Probiert es aus, ihr werdet es nicht bereuen! ### English Version If you're looking for a really good tower defense game, I highly recommend "Arrival of Beasts"! I've spent 195 hours in this game so far and I just can't get enough of it. What I particularly like is the depth of the game. There are so many different towers, upgrades, and strategies that it never gets boring. The campaign is challenging and exciting, and the endless mode is perfect for those who just want to relax and focus on defending their base. Another highlight is the regular updates and the open-mindedness of the developer. The developer is super engaged and always ready to listen to suggestions and ideas from the community. This makes the gameplay experience even better because you know that feedback is taken seriously. I could go on and on, but to keep it short: If you like tower defense games and are looking for one that's both challenging and fair, then "Arrival of Beasts" is just right for you. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
I've played a large number of tower defense games over the decades. Only a small handful of them have really stood out. Arrival of Beasts is one of them. This game is far from perfect, and you'll notice that right away. The English translation is a bit rough, there are some UI issues on the menu (can't cancel out of the local co-op screen for example), and the game gives you a lot of upgrade choices up front without it being clear which ones are worth taking (though the game does provide a few hints to help you get started). There's an insane mode that you can toggle when starting a map, and there's no tooltip that shows what it does (though I recall finding the info somewhere, it wasn't where I would have expected it to be). But beneath the rough edges of the game, I think the substance of it is solid. The game has a LOT of progression, and unlocking a new skill, map, or feature feels VERY rewarding, in ways that other games of the genre simply do not. In other tower defense games, especially modern ones, you'll unlock something on each new level, but that level will be harder and it will feel like you're just playing the same game but with more choices. Arrival of Beasts gives you more choices up front, but as you unlock stuff, there is a real feeling that you have more weight behind your actions instead of more complexity. You're not required to just "complete the next level" to progress, you can choose to repeat previous areas to farm skill points, and some of those upgrades let you farm faster, while others will let you push into the higher stages. The strategy of planning your upgrades is an interesting old-school take that a lot of game developers have given up on, and I think that Arrival of Beasts pulled it off against the status quo. The community is small but friendly. There is a Discord server where the top players and even the dev will offer to help new players with tips or advice. Or you can opt to play with your own friends. Either way, co-op is not a requirement to enjoy the game. If you're tired of the cookie cutter McTowerDefense games plaguing steam and want an original take on the genre, I recommend giving this game a chance. The game gives me the nostalgic feeling of discovering the genre for the first time like I did back in college.
Gutes Tower Defense Game
Eines der besten Tower Defence spiele überhaupt. Wer auf eine Challenge steht, sollte sich diese Spiel gönnen.
Ein wirklich sehr spannendes Spiel. Es überrascht mit einer großen Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten gameplayseitig und man kann seinen ganz eigenen Spielstil entwickeln. Zwar sind die vielen Möglichkeiten am Anfang ein wenig überwältigend, aber man findet schnell rein und bei Fragen kann man sich immer an den Entwickler oder andere Spieler auf dem Discord wenden. Bugs sind ebenfalls vorhanden jedoch werden diese meist schnell gefixt und das Reporten dieser ist ein Kinderspiel mit Hilfe des Discords. Alles in Allem ein sehr gelungenes Spiel!
One of the best Games i've ever played the last few years. I was never a tower defense player but this game has that certain something. I can only recommend it but be careful, it is addictive.
Schön viel Variation, das Gameplay und die Möglichkeiten die Türme zu Bauen und sich selbst zu Leveln macht richtig Spaß, TD mit Coop ist sowieso mega Geil das einzige was mich persönlich etwas stört ist der Grafikstiel aber daran hab ich mich auch schnell gewöhnt
