In the case of Tower Factory, the genres are right in the name, with the game merging the ever popular automation game with the storied tower defense subgenre. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c0/e7/c0e78dd7-e7af-4603-8ab9-09f05cab06f3/content/images/2024/09/Desc_01.gif) Source: Steam. The core gameplay looks very similar to most TDs - construct defensive buildings to stop waves of enemies that proceed down predetermined paths. Where Tower Factory differs is in how those defensive buildings are constructed. While most TDs have the player raising new towers using resources collected from defeated enemies, Tower Factory requires the player to gather resources from the environment, using a network of conveyor belts and processing buildings to deliver them to the central structure. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c0/e7/c0e78dd7-e7af-4603-8ab9-09f05cab06f3/content/images/2024/09/Desc_02.gif) Source: Steam. This change adds something else that isn't part of the typical tower defense experience: Exploration. During the downtime between waves, the player must explore the surrounding area to find new pockets of resources and - ultimately - the source of the monsters. Destroying that source stops the waves and ends the level. However, there are also fresh threats hiding in the fog of war, making exploration necessary but treacherous. Tower Factory is set for a November 2024 release.
