In a thrilling blend of music and gaming, renowned techno DJ Nima Khakpour is set to make waves with his debut game, Wave Defense: Trappist. This innovative title will be showcased at the Steam Next Fest until March 3rd, leading up to its official release on March 25th, 2025.
Wave Defense: Trappist is not just another tower defense game; it’s an immersive experience where the pulsating beats of techno music drive the gameplay. Khakpour, along with fellow DJ Joel Mull, has crafted a soundtrack that synchronizes perfectly with the in-game action, ensuring that every battle against alien waves is as much a musical journey as it is a strategic challenge.
Set in the enigmatic Trappist solar system, players command a customizable mech, exploring for rare minerals while defending their outpost from relentless alien attacks. The game’s isometric view and roguelike elements promise a unique experience with each playthrough, as procedurally generated waves and evolving power-ups keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
Key features of Wave Defense: Trappist include:
- Customizable Mech: Tailor your mech’s weapons, abilities, and appearance to create the ultimate alien-fighting machine. Unlock new parts and enhance skills to match your combat style.
- Dynamic Roguelike Progression: Each run offers a unique experience with procedurally generated challenges and resource management. Adapt your strategy to gather rare minerals and upgrade your mech permanently.
- Strategic Base Building: Construct and upgrade defensive structures to fortify your base against alien invaders. Position turrets, barriers, and support structures strategically to create a dynamic defense.
- Immersive Techno Soundtrack: Battle alien waves in sync with techno beats created by Joel Mull and Nima Khakpour. The soundtrack not only sets the mood but also guides you through escalating challenges.
