- Challenge 100 levels with meteors, magic guns, and undead minions.
- New game by a Romanian solo developer… Free demo with Korean support also released
- Flipping the Tower Defense formula from the perspective of the villain defeating the hero
Bunch of Idiots Studio, an indie game developer led by Romanian solo developer Sergiu Pert, will release its new action tower defense game , Evilos, on Steam on December 14.
Along with the confirmation of the release date, the developer also unveiled a new trailer video showcasing the game’s unique gameplay mechanics.
‘Evillos’ deviates from the typical tower defense genre where players had to defend a castle or kingdom from swarming monsters. Instead, it stands out for its unconventional concept where the player becomes a powerful ‘final boss’ attempting to destroy the kingdom and dominates the battlefield.
Users are expected to devise their own strategies and unleash action to break through the kingdom’s defenses with the heroes, and experience destructive and unique fun that could not be found in existing genres.
The Revenge of an Evil Wizard Awakened After a Thousand Years
The player appears as an ‘ancient evil wizard’ who awakens from a long slumber of a thousand years to reclaim the power that sealed him and stole from him in the past.
The kingdom has been commemorating the past event of sealing the wizard as a peaceful ‘happy ending,’ but the wizard, having awakened again, fends off the attacks of heroes and warriors surging to defeat him and sets out on a brutal revenge plot to bring down the kingdom instead.
According to the developer, ‘Evillos’ was created with deep inspiration from the globally successful mobile tower defense game ‘Swamp Attack’.
However, while ‘Swamp Attack’ followed the traditional method of fending off hordes of monsters, ‘Evillos’ promises a differentiated kind of fun by conversely allowing the player to become the final boss and fiercely confront the heroes of justice swarming to hunt them.
Combat utilizing spells, magic guns, and undead minions
The power of the evil magic wielded by the player is formidable. In combat, players can freely execute powerful area-of-effect spells that fill the screen, such as meteors, tornadoes, and lightning. Furthermore, the game’s satisfying gameplay is enhanced by the addition of a ‘Magic Gun’ system, where each weapon possesses unique elemental effects capable of freezing, burning, electrocuting, or disintegrating enemies.
Players can continuously upgrade weapons and spells to evolve them into more powerful forms, and combine various abilities to create explosive synergy in combat.
Befitting an ancient wizard, the necromancer system, which revives the dead to serve as minions, is also an attractive element. In particular, the names of the subordinates who follow the player’s commands catch the eye.
The names of the familiars, which are a humorous combination of the names of famous figures and characters from popular culture such as Jack Marrow, Nicolas Ribcage, Scary Potter, Vincent Van Gore, and Arnold Schwarzenecro, reveal the work’s unique, witty, and cheerful black comedy atmosphere.
100 levels across the entire kingdom… Each act concludes with a boss battle.
The entire content of ‘Evillos’ is richly composed of 10 acts and a total of 100 levels set across the entire kingdom. Players will conquer the kingdom’s regions one by one, and powerful boss battles await at the final stage of each act, delivering tense combat at every moment.
The game was developed as a single-player exclusive, and on the Steam store page, it is classified as an action strategy game that intricately combines tower defense, strategy, and intense action elements.
Romanian one-person development studio Bunch of Idiots Studio
Bunch of Idiots Studio handled both the development and distribution of ‘Evillos’. The studio is a one-man development team run by Romanian developer Sergio Pert, who creates games by himself.
A free demo of the game is available on Steam ahead of its release. ‘Evillos’ will also participate in Steam Next Fest, held from October 19 to 26. It supports a Korean interface and subtitles.
