Crop Dead Demo
About this game
GROW YOUR ARSENAL. DEFEND YOUR SOUL.
Crop Dead: Tower Roguelike is a high-octane hybrid of action roguelite and tower defense. You are a spirit trapped in a dark, gothic tower, desperately protecting your physical body—resting in a coffin—from waves of mindless, acidic slimes. To survive, you must master the art of magical agriculture.
Harvest Your Weapons
Forget corn and wheat. In this tower, you till the soil to grow sentient weaponry.
Weapon Crops: Harvest Plant Boomerangs, Potato Mines, and Pumpkin Bowling Balls to take the fight to the enemy yourself.
Guard Crops: Plant Eye Monsters, Zombie Hands, and Skeleton Archers to build an automated defense perimeter around your coffin.
Strategic Tower Defense
Every floor is a tactical puzzle. Rocks block your path and slimes will jump over obstacles to find the shortest route to your coffin. Use your Shatter Pickaxe to clear space or leave natural barriers to funnel the horde into your kill zones.
The Soul Forge (Meta-Progression)
Death is only a temporary setback. Spend your earned Soul Essence in the Soul Forge to permanently upgrade your stats.
Strengthen your coffin’s durability.
Reduce seed costs.
Unlock powerful new crop types and character passives.
