Dead Ground is a procedurally generated tower defense in Steam Early Access for Linux and Windows games. Complete with rogue-like elements. Which is really tower defense reimagined.
So each playthrough will offer randomly generated guns, skills and augments. Players also have to travel, collect scrap and water. Managing your inventory and upgrading your base to survive. Sort of like Atom RPG meets Embers of War. While developer ShotX Studio releases day-one Linux support.
Place and upgrade the towers wisely. Also use your hero to further defend it in this fast-paced game. A perfect blend of action and strategy. You will face permadeath, lots of brutal enemies. Also, tough boss fights and much more.
