About
Tactical retrofuturistic strategy game. A computer virus has infiltrated the "Stargazer" research complex. Most of the robotic units are controlled by the virus. Lead a squad of 4 prototypes on a mission to defend complex mainframe. You'll have to repel assaults, destroy unit fabricators, download valuable data, clear infected nodes, and do more on your way to the deepest parts of the complex. Work with item limitations and drawbacks to build powerful combinations. Destroy your enemies with diverse tactics: overheat them, melt with corrosion, absorb damage, and return fire. But don't rely on a single strategy too much - enemies might have a way to counter it. But above everything else: defend the Mainframe!

* RETRO STYLE: Graphics, inspired by 80s terminal PC with hybrid synthwave soundtrack.
* DIVERSE TACTICS: Cook enemy robots to death, bury them under your bullets, eliminate with a single powerful shot, or render your opponents useless with debuffs - this game is designed with a lot of viable strategies in mind.
* BUILD YOUR SQUAD: Similar to how in card games you have to build your deck, in Mainframe Defenders you have to combine different items with unique abilities, to create an unstoppable squad. Work with item drawbacks or double down on them, creating flawed, yet powerful build!
* UNIQUE ENEMIES: Enemy squad won't sit idle, though. Each unit has its own role in the squad and designed to counter certain strategies. Pick your targets wisely, or you will lose.
* PROCEDURAL LEVELS: Hand-made rooms are combined with procedural generation to create random levels. Missions have differing objectives, combined with unique mission conditions. Will you accept the challenge or avoid the unknown and risk falling behind?
* PROGRESSION SYSTEM: Victory or defeat, the game is not over yet! Unlock new units, each with a unique set of upgrades and load-outs. Unlock new items to bolster your new strategies.

Joguei pouco, mas gostei bastante. O estilo lembra jogos mais antigos e traz uma sensação nostálgica. A proposta é simples e funciona bem.
Прикольная игра, еле пытался пройти легкую миссию. Потом пошел в обычную и победил.
A lot of fun! For a roguelike nothing feels unfair/unfun even at higher difficulties. Honestly I rather enjoy how difficulty is handled, literally just how much damage gets done to you and stronger enemy types. Which means you can get used to how to tackle certain enemies and deal with the status effects they inflict on you on an easier difficulty. A really fun aspect of the game is the weapons and builds you can try to do. When things finally clicked that most guns suck until you build around their downsides it then quickly goes into having having overpowered weaponry and mowing things down. All that is to say the beginning of a run is the most difficult and gets easier as the run goes on. Super fun imo.
— Несучка? Подходит игрок к роботу выбрать снаряжение: — Ствол хороший? — Ещё какой! Первая пушка в мейнфрейме. Урон, дальность, поджиг. — Беру. — Только патронов к ней нет. И слота под неё нет. И робот под неё не подходит.
Хороший пиксельный рогалик . Великолепная музыка . Приятное изучение вселенной , которую создал разработчик. Каждый из четырех существ набранных вами в отряд имеет четыре модуля под снаряжение , которые предстоит найти и собрать в нужные комбинации по пути ошибаясь и делая ерунду , есть четыре модуля на команду . Удобный интерфейс где видно все и сразу , модификаторы на существах , показатели очков действий и передвежиний , модули влияющие на команду . Играть невероятно удобно и приятно , правда сложность была явно не под меня на нормальной мне так намяли бока без понимания игры и я прошел игру лишь на легкой . получив свою долю удовольствия . Неприятно что многие существа не открыти для доступа в команду и будут постепенно в нее входить как вы наберете нужно количество очков после завершения миссии . такая же беда и с модулями вам нужно выкупить еще порядка 60 штук за 120-200 научного материала каждую иначе в магазине после окончания вашего забега , задолбала метапрогрессия такого плана. Но если вы хотите насладиться атмосферой , пройдя игру один раз , то на это можно закрыть глаза и играть в свою удовольствие двигая фигурку по игровому полю.
Не моя история.
