Dive into Chaos: Operation Octo Unleashes an Underwater Adventure at Steam Fest
Here comes a tidal wave of excitement as Klub Kofta Studios introduces its indie debut, Operation Octo, at the upcoming Steam Tower Defense Fest. This quirky tower defense game, starring a cast of aquatic allies and skeletal foes, is making its splash with a first-ever playable demo, giving players a taste of the underwater adventure.
Octopuses, Dolphins … and Skeletons?!
Operation Octo plunges players into a thrilling underwater world where Dr. Odin, an octopus scientist with a penchant for gadgetry, leads a ragtag team of sea creatures. Their mission? To liberate the ocean from the sinister grip of skeletal invaders. From strategizing with their aquatic comrades to outsmarting foes armed with swords and poisons, players must craft the perfect defense line to protect the ocean's depths.
A Unique Twist on Tower Defense
The game draws inspiration from the strategic depth of tower defense classics like Plants vs. Zombies, mixed with the frenetic action of bullet hell games. As the developers describe, players won't just be passive observers but active agents within the game world, physically placing turrets and dodging enemy attacks. This dynamic gameplay adds a fresh twist to the genre, promising a unique and engaging experience.
What's in the Demo?
Operation Octo's demo introduces players to several standout features:
- Unlock Turrets and Upgrade as You Go: Your arsenal is anything but ordinary! Think mechanized sea creatures like Pistol Shrimp, Navy Seal, and the powerful Death Ray. As you progress, you'll unlock new turret types and elixirs from defeated skeletons. Experiment with these to transform your defenses and discover unexpected combos!
- Skeleton Enemies and Changing Environments: From sword-wielding pirate skeletons to poison-spouting chemists and even skeletal dragons, your adversaries are as diverse as they are challenging. The game's seven seas offer ever-changing environments, keeping players on their toes as they navigate each level.
The Steam Tower Defense Fest is the perfect opportunity for players to dive into Operation Octo's world, providing invaluable feedback that will shape the game's final release. Klub Kofta Studios plans to release the full game in 2025, with more updates to the demo on the horizon.
