Description

Raid Haven is a strategy, wave-based survival game focused on building fortified bases and defending against ever-more-powerful raids.

Gear up your pawns with powerful weapons and armour, adapt your defences, and survive wave after wave of increasingly dangerous enemies.

Inspired by RimWorld's tactical pawn-based combat, Raid Haven leaves out hunger, farms and production chains and puts the focus on building, defending and surviving 100 escalating raids. You lay blueprints for walls, gates, sandbags, turrets, mortars and traps, and your pawns build them tile by tile. Raiders cannot open your doors and prefer any open path, so you shape where they go: a narrow gap, a lane of Resin Floor, a Boulder Chute aimed down the corridor, and a row of sandbags where your archers, mages and knights hold the line.

Every tenth wave a lone Champion boss attacks while your defences fall silent. The dead stay dead, and the run ends when the last pawn falls.

Features

• Build your haven tile by tile. Lay blueprints for 26 kinds of walls, gates, cover and defences on a new procedurally generated map every run, and your pawns build them.
• Design the perfect killbox. Raiders cannot open doors and prefer the open path, so you decide where they go: through a narrow gap and into your sandbags, turrets and traps.
• Know exactly what is coming. Before each wave you see the raid type and every raider in it. There is no timer: the raid starts when you are ready.
• Tactical real-time squad combat. Line of sight, directional cover, three combat stances, formation lines and orders you can give while paused.
• A Champion boss every tenth wave. Your defences go dormant as a lone Champion unleashes telegraphed abilities, from Seismic Slam to Gravity Well.
• Every raid needs a different plan. Ogre Charge, The Fog, Bounty Hunters and Twinbound each change the rules.
• Loot, reforge and Legendary power. Weapons and armour in five rarities, a Reforge to upgrade your favourites, and the Legendary abilities Lightbreaker, Rapid Draw and Lava Orb.
• Permadeath runs on your terms. Grow from one pawn to a squad of seven, then tune each run with the Raiders Multiplier and stackable Challenge Modes.
