LONDON, UK – August 21, 2024 – Welcome to the Corp, operative! Fireshine Games is delighted to announce ITER, a mining roguelite tower defence game coming to Steam in 2025.
In ITER, you are an Undercity operative who must board their mining ship to extract resources and harness the planet’s energy. Use gathered materials to enhance your mining capabilities, upgrade your items and equipment, and build your base’s defences in the fight against the mechanoids.
Choose where to focus your upgrades wisely; ITER Corp graciously allows you to choose your own career progression. Explore the pillar’s caves to uncover new technology and build automated combat systems to halt any oncoming threats. In case of emergency, man the gun tower and engage anything that dares to approach your base. Never manned a turret before? No problem - you’ll either learn or die trying.
One of the potential career paths in the line of duty may be death, but thankfully there are plenty of willing volunteers. Spend progression points to help your successor’s chances of survival on the next run, in the hope of someone making it out alive.
“Ever since fluckyMachine first started showing us what they were working on with ITER, we haven’t been able to put it down,” said Tom Knight, Junior Product Manager at Fireshine Games. “ITER is a riveting roguelite mining tower defence that fans of the genre are going to love digging into, and we can’t wait for players to get their first hands on with the game at gamescom.”
Visitors to gamescom will be able to get the first hands-on with ITER at the Fireshine Games booth in Hall 10.2.
ITER will be available in 2025 and can be added to your Steam Wishlist now. For the latest updates, follow @FireshineGames on X and visit fireshinegames.co.uk.
