GRAFTMIND

Build during the fight
Robots made from scrap attack your Core from every side. You don't watch from above. You are out on the field, shooting, picking up Scrap and placing defenses while the waves keep coming. There is no pause to build.

Power decides where you can build
Enemies drop Scrap when they die. Spend it on Generators, Turrets and Arc Spires. Turrets need power, so every new building is also a question of where your power reaches. Put a Generator on a Power Node out in the field to claim an outpost: more power, a steady trickle of Scrap, and one more thing the robots will come for.

Get stronger as the run goes on
Each level up gives you a choice of upgrades for your weapon, your turrets and your base, and now and then one rolls Supercharged for a bigger effect. A run lasts about fifteen minutes and ends with the zone's Guardian.

Models carry over between runs
Defeated machines sometimes leave behind Models: recovered AI chips. Plug them into the Core before a run. Each one adds its own upgrades, and you can train it with data from earlier runs to make it stronger.

Three zones
Scrap Wastes: an open junkyard. The place to learn.

Ashen Foundry: a burnt-out factory with heavier enemies earlier.

Severed Grid: a broken power network with shielded formations and signal storms.
