“We wanted to create a game that felt more accessible than typical strategy or base-building games which can sometimes be overwhelming to the player,” said Alhvi Balcarcel, co-founder of Selva Interactive. “One key way we accomplished this is through creating clear objectives with goal-oriented gameplay, as opposed to a typical sandbox setting.”
In Illuminaria the mechanics are simplified in a unique way. Building and gathering resources take only a few clicks from the user. The player controls a swarm of robots who are smart enough to decide which task to do next based on the swarm's intelligence and the player's input. The game combines several genres in the strategy spectrum, like tower defense, auto battlers, and base-building, straightforwardly and engagingly.
Throughout the game, players will uncover the lore behind how darkness took over and why it’s their job to bring back light
