The Legend of Athea is a mix between a breakout-style game and a strategy game. There is also some hands on action mixed in to keep the player always engaged. The main gameplay is that there is a battle between your army and the enemy army. Throughout the battle a fireball is flying around the battlefield, hurting everything in it's path. You must use your magic shield to reflect it or it will destroy the defences you have built up.

-8 Stages to battle on.
-Unlock new buildings and units.
-Action gameplay mixed with managment and strategy gameplay.
-Lots of options for different strategies.
-Unique giant bosses for every stage.
-A story-based campaign involving multiple fantasy lands.
-Game saves after each battle.
-About 1-2 hours in length.

The game is getting oh so close to completion! I'm really just working on a few aesthetic things and then it will be ready to go!

I did adjust a lot of the unit/building powers so those posts above have been updated to reflect the changes.

World map is done! I really like how it turned out!

Athea is the heroine of the game! She is the sole guardian of her homeland Valel. Her older brother, once a guardian of Valel with her, vanished two years ago. Her strengths include her unmatched tactical abilities, adaptibility, and confidence. She is an incredible leader but is no slouch in melee combat either. She fights with her trusty spear and magical shield that is said to defend against any weapon. She has defended her homeland from rock giants and raids that threaten her people. 

The full game will now include post game content! On beating the campaign, you will unlock an endless mode! This mode has you select 6 buildings from the game to use and see how long you can survive!

Just wanted to give one final update on the game. The game has been play tested and is ready for release! I am just waiting on the music and I will release the game. Thank you all for your patience and your feedback along the way! 

The full game if finally ready! I'm planning on having it released on 2/9 around 7pm EST!

Until then have a gameplay trailer:
