November 4th 2024 - Sunsoft is excited to announce that Ark of Charon, its unique blend of colony simulation and tower defense, leaves early access this Thursday, officially launching on Steam! As the caretaker of a giant nomadic World Tree sapling, players must guide it through a perilous journey to its sanctuary. Along the way, they'll build a thriving settlement on the sapling's back and defend it from ferocious enemies attracted to the creature's life force. Balancing between growing your settlement and establishing powerful defences is the key to survival on this perilous quest!
Ark of Charon’s official launch brings with it a tree-load of new features, balance adjustments, and visual/audio updates. Look forward to exploring new regions and locales on the Sapling’s journey and preparing for the range of additional enemy types that await in these unexplored areas. There are also new ways to harness the power of the World Tree to power new weaponry, but be warned, prolonged use will weaken the sapling, so be careful!
Alongside a more in-depth colony-building experience, Ark of Charon’s tower defense gameplay also steps up a level for its official release. Engage in more strategic and challenging encounters and deal big blows to the advancing hordes with a slew of new weaponry. Gameplay enhancements are accompanied by visual and audio overhauls that add another layer of polish to the already fantastical and distinctive style of Ark of Charon.
