Overview

Intro

Pylon Defense is a cooperative shooter wherein a player creates a single character and teams up with up to three other players in the defense of critical power pylons against waves of enemies. The game emphasizes strategic defense, class-based mechanics, and dynamic enemy encounters to deliver an intense and tactical multiplayer experience. All the action takes place in an over-the-shoulder third-person view, keeping the character close to the action.

The heart of Pylon Defense is the “Wave System”. Each time the player chooses to defend a pylon, a series of twenty waves are generated and balanced offering a unique and challenging experience every play session. This could be anything such as zerging waves with a powerful singular bosses. As each wave is defeated, stronger and more numerous enemies assault a group of players, including zerging enemies, powerful bosses, traps and pitfalls, and time-sensitive tasks in their defense to prevent the Pylon from being overrun.

Breaks between waves give the players critical rest. During this time, a central defense point will provide players the opportunity to shop for defenses, equipment, and upgrades. A medical station will allow the player to heal their wounds and a training facility will allow the player to unlock new abilities. These breaks are brief, creating a sense of urgency.

Expandability and replay value are key to Pylon Defense's success. The Wave System ensures new opportunities and challenges as well as unique encounters and adventures; no two games will ever be the same. New gear, classes, creatures, traps, as well as complete scenarios can be added to the base game after the initial release.
