Released
Platforms
PC

Build your defenses. Combine elemental powers. Fight alongside your turrets.

Valdis blends tower defense strategy with dynamic third-person shooter action and survival elements. Defend your base against increasingly dangerous mutant zombie hordes — from slow walkers to kamikaze units and invisible enemies. Every level tests your tactics, reflexes, and battlefield control.

🎭 Story

A catastrophic incident aboard the space station Valdis infected the entire crew with a deadly zombie virus. You are the last survivor in this sci-fi nightmare. Armed with automated defense turrets and a powerful shotgun, protect the station’s energy core in intense wave-based survival combat.

🎮 Gameplay

Use various turret types — blasters, lasers, mortars, automated cannons, and more. Combine them to create an effective base defense strategy. Smart placement, resource management, and adaptation are the keys to survival.

Each turret belongs to one of three elements — Fire, Ice, or Water. The elemental combat system applies status effects: slow enemies, ignite them, or control crowds. Combine elements to trigger powerful elemental reactions and destructive synergies. Experiment with builds and discover your ideal defense strategy.

🧪 Demo Version

Valdis offers a first look at the station defense system:

– 3 turret types – 3 elements – 3 enemy types

The full version will expand the arsenal with new turrets, elements, enemies, harder waves, and deeper strategic variety.
