About McDROID
McDROID is a fast-paced action-tower defense with some farming and tons of weird creatures.
Defend your shuttle against a variety of crazed alien species as they mutate, corrupt the ground or even turn your crops against you. Load up on weapons, bring your friends (drop-in/drop-out co-op) and take the battle to them. If it gets too crazy, turtle up behind your defensive perimeter and assume direct control of the lasers.
Farming/Battle robot“McDROID” has been knocked off course by space debris and crash lands on the mysterious planet M. Discover the secret of mega-corporation GLACeNTO as you research, upgrade your weapons, outwit the critters and heal the planet.
Features :
- Modular weapon droid: mount weapons and factories on your back and fight hands-on or plant them on power nodes and let the turtling begin[/*]
- Bliss/Corruption game mechanic: the ground will amplify or deplete you depending on its condition[/*]
- Mutation: don’t leave these strawberries lying around for too long, also certain monsters transform your strawberry plants into lethal bomb trees.[/*]
- Coop: help your friend complete the story missions or play in an arena mode designed for four players.[/*]
- Challenge: As you complete each story level you unlock the challenge and nightmare modes. Your weapons, gold (and unfortunately also any mutated crops) persist through these levels - no turret left behind.[/*]
