Eden Rising is free-to-play on Steam now
When I said “free”, I mean it’s totally free. There will be no shop, which means no cash, no loot boxes, no costumes. You don’t need to worry about having to pay for any microtransactions to fully experience the game!
But the developers still need to make money to afford their living, so there is still a paid edition called “Ascendant Edition”. This version was priced $24.99, and it will provide you additional zones to explore, as well as some bonus perks as well.
I haven’t got the paid edition yet, but the standard version for me is still very wide and contains a lot of things for you to experience. But if you have a wealthy friend, it’s even better.
Only one player is required to have the Ascendant Edition, and everyone else joining his server can experience the premium contents as well!
That’s the generosity that the Nvizzio Creations are showing!
Details about the gameplay
Eden Rising is described as an “open world tower defense game”. The description does definitely bring some question for readers about how can people protect their land in an open world?
It turns out, you can lure the monsters near your tower and then defend it. The game doesn’t bring the attacks to you, but you have to create it and defense it yourself. Weird, but fascinating.
In the game, you’ll have to defense your tower – your home against waves of monsters from a foreign planet. However, you don’t have to stick to a certain range of area. You can also explore the open world to find more items (and new enemies as well) to further enhance your fortress. That’s the feature that made Eden Rising stand out.
Items can be obtained through you make your journey through the land, and also from the monsters that you’ve defeated as well. Those items are the materials that you can use to gear up and fortify your tower, making it sustainable to more attacks in the future. However, you’re also a part of your strength as well, and you’ll have to carefully decide whether to invest items on upgrading the tower or using it on yourself.
The game supports multiplayer
The monsters in the game are creatively designed with the sci-fi and fantasy attributes, and it’s not completely mindless. Every monster has its distinctive skills and attacking style, and it’s very crucial to learn and figure out how to deal with them. Of course, there will also be some giants monster that’s very difficult to handle by yourself.
If you find that the game is too challenging, you can invite up to 8 friends to stand by you. However, the loots are not shared, so you should think very carefully on how to divide your rewards, or you might have risked your friendship. You can also go solo if you want, as long as you're prepared to face the battle of your life!
Well, the game is released for free, so it doesn’t risk you anything to try for yourself now!
