As RTS tower defense game Idun - Frontline Survival steadily marches towards its release today, its developer IDUN Interactive has confirmed that its free prologue has now passed 20,000 downloads.
Released earlier this month, Idun’s free prologue grants anyone curious access to its Raid mode, which revolves around “challenging roguelike missions” that showcase the title’s “formidable blend of RTS action and tactical tower defense strategy”
Idun Release Date
Set on the eponymous planet named after the Norse youth goddess, Idun’s full version also includes a story campaign that focuses on humanity’s attempt to extract valuable resources from the newly discovered space rock while promising a “captivating tale of love, deception, and death.”
In charge of the human’s death dealing armed forces, our goal is to hold back the overwhelming swarms of opponents who aren’t all that happy with our intrusion.
To accomplish this, we’ll have to place down and move turrets while also taking control of powerful heroes and combat units.
Aside from directing them towards their target, we can also apply various upgrades that ensure our capabilities adapt to overcome odds that become increasingly stacked against us.
Developer Idun Interactive claims that each mission “presents unique obstacles, from new enemies and environmental anomalies to game-changing modifiers.”
Another interesting detail comes in the shape of its fully destructible terrain and “smooth pathfinding AI,” which enable foes to attack from multiple directions rather than constantly funneling them down predictable paths.
The title also launches with support for mouse and keyboard, gamepad, as well as touch controls.
Developer Idun Interactive was founded by Gustav Hagerling, formerly chief visual effects director for the Battlefield series, and the prologue for its debut title remains available on Steam at the time of writing.
If you like what you see, you’ll want to keep an eye on Idun - Frontline Survival’s release date, which is currently locked in to January 20, 2025 at 4pm GMT.
