We destroyed Hestia, our home, our Earth. You have been charged to execute geopoesis on one of the scarce number of promising, but hostile, alien worlds, Eos. Our only chance of survival is for you to terraform the 13 very challenging areas on this hostile planet. - Terraform areas by cleaning air and land then creating water to establish an ever more powerful base for energy generation. - Develop tactics to correctly select and deploy combinations of different drone types to beat the unforgiving environments presented by each area of the planet. - Beating each level requires experimentation and careful observation of cause and effect. Geopoesis is all about experimentation and is set up not to punish repeated attempts with different strategies. Don't hesitate to abandon a level and try a different approach. Have fun failing. If you get frustrated just try a different strategy. - Timing, energy management, shrewd selection of drone characteristics and base placement will be critical to successfully terraform each area ... And, don’t forget .. you may not be alone ! Think chess-like levels of strategy coupled with real-time action. Before you embark, consider mastering the basic skills required on the friendly simulated world of Artemis (3 very easy areas, free tutorial). You can download it from the app store. Search for Geopoesis: Artemis. Best of luck and if you get stuck don’t hesitate to contact us for hints. We would love to heard from you.

In a dark world, a new adventure begins. Explore maps, level up powers, kill monsters. Find treasures. From the somehow triple-BAFTA‑winning creators of Vampire Survivors, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors turns the snowballing thrill of Survivors into a hyper turn‑based, card‑driven BLOBBER with rogue-lite elements. Build busted decks, explore familiar dungeons from a new perspective, and unleash world‑ending combos. Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: The outcome is always accurate, we call it hyper for a reason! What is this game about Snowballing, turn‑based carnage: Play cards in ascending mana order to land combos; each step multiplies the next card’s effect. Use Wilds to extend the stack and keep going to 10, 20, 30… Can you reach infinite? Pick your pace: Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: The outcome is always accurate, we call it hyper for a reason! Deck-Building: Accumulate experience and level up to gain new cards, headbutt chests for customization gems and power‑ups; chase weapon evolutions and summon survivors to trigger cascade of effects and break the game. Crawling: Explore multi‑floor dungeons packed with something seldom seen in Vampire Survivors: functioning walls. And then all sorts of unique treasures and interactions. Find the shovel to dig into the next floor, that will most likely take place in the clouds! Starting Tips: - Try different Crawlers, each one changes your deck. - Visit the village after every run and remember to buy Power-Ups. - Play cards in ascending mana to trigger combos.
