Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault

Strategy

July 2, 2015

An economic strategy game taking place in a post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has locked itself in fortified cities - the only way of surviving the attacks of alien monsters. The game was developed by Acquire, a Japanese studio known from Way of the Samurai, Tenchu, and Shinobido. In Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault, the player takes control of his own city, and fights against continuous waves of huge monsters. The cities are composed of a few districts that can be rotated 360 degrees. When the enemy attacks, the players have to manipulate the individual districts in real time so that the right installations can target certain vulnerable types of monsters. At the same time, the game has a complex storyline and a number of heroes that are introduced through cut-scenes stylized as a visual novel. Additionally, the game mixes features of real time strategies, tower defense games, city-building simulators, as well as arcade titles.
