Crystal Nexus: Alien Siege
Steam
Employee of Mild Value: congratulations on your Rehydration and reintegration into the bright and lively world of unsuspended animation! Please ignore any lingering visions of what might appear to be your forcible abduction and storage; these are hallucinatory delusions; they will pass with time. You have much more important things to focus on. After all…
Today is the big day! That’s right! As you will no doubt deduce from the Deckbuilding, Tower Defense, and Orbital Death Machine training-manuals loaded onto your workstation down the hall, today you will officially start your new position as a Crystal Nexus Remote Drone Operator! How exciting for you!
Remember to review your new job responsibilities with care, as well as the Performance-Based Resource Allocation Table in the company handbook.
Good luck! Workers are replaceable but Profits are forever!
There’s no one way to win– quick reactions are just as important as careful strategy! Surviving each encounter means understanding not only the terrain, the enemies, and how to best use your tools; it means understanding what are the right tools for the job in the first place! Use elemental synergies, overlapping status effects, and precise tower placement to ensure victory!

Support the battle on the ground from your seat in your space station office! Fire down special weapons with powerful elemental effects at critical moments– and the more damage you do, the more new towers and buffs you unlock with supply-drops, marking milestones! Make sure to follow the company’s strict cost-cutting requirements with each wave! It’s just another day on the job!
Obviously, we can’t tell you that you can turn against the company and side with the alien forces. Obviously, you can’t do that. It would be completely against company policy to do that, and against policy to tell you that you can. So you can’t.
