Castle Of Alchemists

Castle Of Alchemists is an action-RPG and tower defense hybrid built around a single super-soldier protagonist named Bellator di Alchemia. Alchemically enhanced and first of his kind, he fights to reclaim a castle from interdimensional invaders piece by piece.

The gameplay layers traditional tower defense placement on top of direct ARPG combat. You can lay down traps, build towers, and let them grind down waves, but you're also actively fighting on the same map, swinging crafted weapons against enemies that close past your defenses.

Crafting produces items with randomised properties — every weapon roll is different, encouraging build experimentation. Two-dozen-plus enemy types span multiple invading factions, each with distinct abilities. 10+ status conditions (slow, stun, burn, freeze, etc.) interact with each other and the environment: electric arcs spread through metal traps, fire ignites oil puddles, electricity turns acid into explosive poison gas.

The pixel-art presentation is detailed and saturated. Boss arenas, endless waves, and a hard-mode difficulty modifier extend the post-campaign loop. From a two-person team developing the game openly and iterating based on player feedback during early access.
