Alpha Release: Get Ready to Dive into a New Tower Defense Experience
Hello Tower Pop community!
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve completed the technical alpha for Omega Royale, the world’s first Battle Royale Tower Defense game! Our incredible team at Tower Pop has worked tirelessly to bring you this groundbreaking experience. It’s been a long and fun journey, and we’re proud of the results and can’t wait for you to try it out.
As we release this first version to a limited group of players, including our esteemed Ambassadors, we want to remind you that this is a technical alpha release. Expect bugs and please report any issues you encounter. Your feedback will help us improve the game as we continue development.
Report bugs either on our discord server in the #bugs channel or email us at info@towerpop.com.
Currently, the game server is located in Europe, so you might experience lag from certain locations. Please report any connectivity issues, as we plan to implement globally distributed servers in the future. With this being a technical alpha: Be prepared for a complete account reset or database wipe at some point during the alpha phase.
The alpha features the main battle royale mode, with additional features coming over the next few weeks and months. To improve your deck, you can play and progress through the Season Pass. Every 20 minutes, you’ll receive a token in your token pool. Based on your in-game performance, these tokens will help you progress in the Season Pass. Keep in mind that your token pool can store a maximum of 100 tokens.
Gold can be earned through the Season Pass and by playing the game (with a daily cap). However, gold acquisition is limited at the moment, so be strategic about which upgrades you choose.
As this is a battle royale game with 10-player battles, you’ll encounter many bots during the alpha stage. Skilled players might not find them too challenging yet, but as more players join, we’ll be able to improve the matchmaking experience. There is also no tutorial, so the game might be overwhelming for new players who haven’t tried the web version.
We’ve introduced two new features in Omega Royale that aren’t in the web version:
- Merge Frenzies: Merging towers triggers a short frenzy mode, boosting fire rate and damage. Use this power-up wisely!
- Hexes: Use hexes to attack other players. Choose up to two hexes for battle (not available in League 1). All players hexes are collected into a pool before battle and three are randomly shown at the time in a “Dutch auction”, meaning every player compete to buy the same hexes. Store up to two hexes for casting later. The level of hexes remains tied to the spell level at the time of the purchase, and stored hexes won’t level up.
We’re excited for you to try Omega Royale and encourage you to send us your feedback, bug reports, and most importantly, have fun playing our game! Your participation will help us refine and perfect the Omega Royale experience. Happy gaming & may the best defender win!
