IDUN

The game IDUN was created by the Swede Gustav Hagerling. It combines real-time strategy with tower defense gameplay. By making strategic decisions, we defend ourselves against the rampant offensive of the beings living on the titular planet in order to extract an important resource.

Plot

IDUN is the name of the planet on which the drilling colony that extracts Epli, a resource of vital importance, is located. Our work is hampered by endless waves of hostile beings, forcing our crew to defend themselves and extract enough resources from the planet before our team is overwhelmed by enemy forces.

Gameplay

In IDUN we make strategic decisions and directly move defensive units. Each mission involves new obstacles, from environmental anomalies to hordes of enemies, of which tens of thousands can appear on the screen at the same time. Apart from building walls or towers with rotating blades and using turrets or combat vehicles, we delegate crew members to the battlefield. Bloody skirmishes also take place in the skies.

Battles do not leave the environment unaffected. The grassy surface of the planet IDUN quickly turns into a smoky, ruined battlefield as a result of clashes. Explosions create craters, which later fill with puddles of blood, forcing enemies to change their path. In turn, higher temperature makes them move faster. Wind and pressure are also present in the game.

After completing the mission, we collect resources, which we then use to upgrade our station and the crew's arsenal, turrets, and tools.

Game modes

In addition to the campaign and procedurally generated missions, IDUN offers various types of challenges, such as survival which is about the endless defense of the refinery.

Graphics

IDUN runs on the Unity engine and features colorful graphics. We can experience an interactive simulation of smoke and fluids in the form of blood.
