A grid-based Roguelike Tower Defense where the board fights back. Survive the swarm, expand the terrain, and draft powerful rewards. Build the perfect defense, but beware: the grid flips, forcing you to fight on two fronts. Will you master the twist or be consumed by the abyss?
Tessellar
SteamTHE BOARD IS YOUR WEAPON... AND YOUR ENEMY TESSELLAR is a dark, grid-based Roguelike Tower Defense that takes the classic formula and turns it upside down—literally. You are tasked with defending the core against relentless demonic swarms, but static defenses won't save you here. The terrain is a dynamic puzzle. When the board flips, the rules of reality change, and enemies will start pushing from the abyss below. You must defend both sides of the grid simultaneously.
SURVIVE. EXPAND. UPGRADE. Every run is a new puzzle. Master the core roguelite loop to build an impenetrable fortress:
SYNERGIES THAT BREAK THE RULES Combine different tower types to create devastating chain reactions. Unleash the Earth Tower to trigger massive area-of-effect earthquakes that fracture the grid, dealing damage to swarms on both sides of the flipping board at the exact same time. Find the perfect build, adapt to the rotating terrain, and outsmart the horde.
COUCH-FRIENDLY TACTICS Unlike most grid-based strategy games, TESSELLAR features full gamepad support. Whether you want to meticulously plan your grid with a mouse and keyboard or build your defenses from the comfort of your couch with a controller, the tactical chaos is always at your fingertips.
