Skill-based siege defense game Siegecaster looks like a great mixture of chaos and building

From Half Human Games and Boss Corridor they just announced Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game where you play as a wizard surviving a large-scale assault on your home. Mixing together real-time horde-defense along with building, this actually looks like a whole lot of fun to me.

“Siegecaster is the type of game this team has wanted to make for decades!” said Alexander Sliwinski of Boss Corridor. “It’s a fun, active engagement game with endless replayability. You can play Siegecaster when you’ve got two hours or 10 minutes.”

“Siegecaster is our love letter to arcade gaming. Our team grew up on the classics, so this has been a game we've all loved working on," said Percy Legendre of Half Human Games.
