Summary:
Galaxy for Hire was a hero-based tower defense game which was designed to allow up to 4 players to cooperatively team up online against enemy AI. Our team developed the game for nearly 2 years before asking for funding on Kickstarter in December 2012. The combat systems promoted action-oriented team play and rewarded players for their personal skill and strategic thought.
Players would fight as mercenaries, who are each equipped with multiple unique abilities and items. In addition to mercenaries, players would have had access to real time building of defensive structures which would enable them to strategically counter various engagements.
