Arcane Architect

Arcane Architect is a virtual reality tower defence game set in a fantasy world. The player wears a VR headset and uses a magical staff as a battle archmage, standing at the centre of the battlefield rather than viewing it from above. Waves of monsters advance towards the player, who builds large defensive structures in the surrounding area.

Towers are built from three independent sections. Players combine different materials across these sections to unlock new attack types and synergies. When towers fail, the player can fight directly with the staff, using fireballs to damage groups of enemies or a shockwave attack. The game also includes an alchemy system used during battle. Players find new ingredients and brew potions, which can be thrown as flasks to inflict debuffs on enemies or used to apply buffs to towers.

The game features a range of enemy types, each requiring a different approach, so tower element combinations can be adjusted to suit different enemy defences. Large bosses appear as additional challenges. Progression is tied to winning battles, which unlocks rare tower building elements and unique alchemical recipes for use in later levels.
