Turn-based tower defense game Islets Defense announced for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2

MiniGoof is developing its new turn-based tower defense game Islets Defense for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, the studio has announced. A release date will be provided later.

MiniGoof was founded by former developers from Aquiris, which later became Epic Games Brazil. The company previously worked on Fortnite and Horizon Chase 2. Islets Defense is MiniGoof’s first original game.

Here’s an overview of the project:

A turn consists of executing one of the four available actions, each with its own unique functionality. The order of the cards plays a key role, with the rightmost card offering a stronger effect. After completing your turn, the chosen card moves to the leftmost position, pushing the others one step forward. Consistent and efficient use of all four cards is key to building a solid defense.

Allocate your towers in strategic positions, sustain them with food, upgrade them with wood and stone, and ensure a strong defense against the slimes. Chests and stage modifiers will offer new strategic opportunities, with unique towers and various upgrades to explore.

Each building has different upgrade options for you to choose from. Build the most efficient village by making smart decisions that synergize with your positioning strategy!

The mist has covered your entire kingdom! You start the game with an unexplored map, ready to be revealed! Use the exploration action to reach new resources, gain visibility for your attack towers, and discover hidden treasures!

Advance through stages, complete challenges, and earn diamonds and feathers to unlock and face different biomes! Islets Defense is the game for those looking for a classic tower defense experience mixed with the chilling vibes of a resource management game, all wrapped up in easy-to-understand mechanics filled with creative possibilities.
