About the Game

Overview

Vespia: Shield of Aberration is a tower-defense game where you combine spells to modify the effects of your projectiles. In this game, it is not the tower that defines its magic power, but how you choose to apply modifications to it. Create a shotgun wizard by combining multi-casts, create shots that explode into a burst of black holes, and absolutely break the game with your insane combinations!

In Vespia, you will be tasked with protecting the city for 20 days before a powerful prime anomaly appears. During this time you will earn experience, upgrade your characters and unlock new spells - slack off and the increasing amount and types of enemies will be bound to overrun you.

Between each day, you will have the option to unlock special modifier effects which add a little bit of interest to your run; however, the more powerful the benefits, the more powerful the consequences.

Features

Your journey cannot be completed alone, each new student joining your party will bring something new to the table with unique abilities, spells and upgrade trees.

Each new character that you unlock has:

  • A unique skill tree for that character.

  • An upgradable ability card active while you are using that character.

  • Character-specific cards to enhance your deck.

During battle, each student can be given modifier cards that bring them closer to mastering the anomalous and becoming an unstoppable force.

  • Spells interact with other spells, creating an expansive range of combinations.

  • Modifier spells modify the fired projectiles with effects like swift-cast and freeze-shot.

  • Cast spells change how your spells are triggered with effects like multi-shot and burst.

  • Projectile spells spawn projectiles that can damage anomalous threats.

Between each battle, perform research to gain new cards which unlock an exponential number of formidable combinations.

  • New cards unlock powerful and interesting new spells.

  • Cards are designed with interesting effects in mind, some may upgrade your characters, others may grant some great boon at the cost of sacrificing something else.

Each battle requires a different set of skills. Each card provides something unique, from cards which enhance a student's powers to ones that sacrifice or enhance the cards in your deck.

As the days progress and the intensity of their attacks intensify, the world beings to distort and the threats become greater. You feel like something is waiting for you...

Vespia is a really clever take on tower defense. Instead of dropping static towers, you’re building spell combos that evolve over time - projectiles that split, freeze, burst into black holes, etc. It’s super satisfying when something just clicks and you melt a whole wave with one chain reaction. There’s a 20-day structure that keeps things focused, and the pacing feels good. You unlock new students, each with their own skill trees and spell cards, and it makes each run feel different. I’ve already found a few combos that feel completely broken - in a fun way. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but the core gameplay loop is solid and really rewarding if you like experimenting with builds. Definitely worth picking up if you like roguelikes, deckbuilders, or just want to mess around with some wild spell mechanics!

It's fun and a good game for the price. Has a handful of annoying (but not game-breaking by any means) bugs. Once you learn the core mechanics it is very easy to get game-breaking runs. This will be fun for some people but others might find it too easy.

This is a really neat tower defense game with an emphasis on crafting your own spells by chaining effects together for your "towers". Do you want to cast a fireball that explodes before sending ten freezing lasers in random directions? I know I do.
