Steam Store description

BYTES: The Reverse Tower Defense is a twist on the classic TD formula where you play as the attacker to strategically build your own path and use special tiles to avoid and mitigate damage to your Bytes. Rogue AI designation "NLAI 74a" or "Complexus" has slipped through New Life security and your goal is to prevent any further damage to the city of East Grid by taking back security nodes. Game Features: Dynamic AI Bytes features a dynamic AI, the antagonist Complexus, that attempts to counter your actions with turrets she determines will be the best for the job. No one path will ever stay safe for long. Complexus buys and upgrades turrets with credits earned from destroying your Bytes and passing rounds like a player typically would. Semi-random elements and Complexus ensures that no level will play quite the same. 8 Different turrets for Complexus to utilize. Strategy Gameplay Bytes is a game about mitigating damage and adapting to new dangers by building your path. Mix and match Special Tiles to overcome levels. Use special tiles to protect your Bytes on a dangerous path, jump over gaps, teleport past walls, or out-speed turrets. Change the formation of your units (Bytes) to cluster them together or space them apart, depending on the danger. Choose between three different types of Bytes, or fine-tune your own waves in the Byte Editor. Non-linear level select Beat levels, unlock upgrades, and tackle more difficult nodes to reclaim the 71 security nodes of East Grid in any order you prefer. The story of Bytes is progressed as you complete Story Nodes, and you aren’t…
