Space Raiders in Space Combines Graphic Novels and Alien Tower Defense on PC Dec. 8
GLIWICE, Poland — October 15, 2020 — Space Raiders in Space, the tower defense roguelike with pulp comic style from publisher Destructive Creations and developer 2 Stupid Devs, exits Early Access and adds a story mode filled with new levels and battles against an alien hivemind threat on Tuesday, Dec. 8 on Steam for Windows PC.
Humanity and the sentient hivemind extraterrestrials were getting along so well until the aliens collectively decided that they were tired of friendship and felt more in the mood for murder. Join badass warrior Andy, super-scientist Heather, and friendly alien Murphy as they squish the creepy-crawly aliens and prove the superiority of individual consciousness once and for all.
Combine tower defense strategery with roguelike-inspired game modes and squad management across a new story mode with 40+ pages of custom comic illustrations and voice acting. Assemble defenses of walls, turrets, and obstructions to reduce these space invaders to ash. Between waves, issue commands to the squad to search, build, fight, defend, and cower away from the extraterrestrial danger.
Eradicate wave after wave to collect weapons for survival like big ole hammers, a nasty crossbow that shoots through lines of enemies, beefy swords, and many more implements of destruction, each with different tiers and rarities. With enemies approaching from all sides, Andy, Heather, Murphy, and humanity need as much help as they can get from the cosmos, like the ability to stop time itself for a quick breather or a last-ditch effort for survival.
Space Raiders in Space brings pulp comic style to tower defense gameplay with gorgeous graphic novel-style art. Full of easter eggs, 2 Stupid Devs’ humor comes through with plenty of moments that break the fourth wall to provide a laugh while crushing those alien jerks.
“Comic-style art, killer space aliens, and deprecating humor come together for a truly great tower defense experience in Space Raiders in Space,” said Marcin Stanek, Business Development Manager at Destructive Creations. “Build the best strategy and beat back the hordes when we launch on December 8.”
Space Raiders in Space launches on PC via Steam December 8 in English. Please join the game’s official Discord server and follow on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitch for more information. Request a review key through this form.
About Destructive Creations

Since the team’s first release in 2015, the common creative work has led to smooth workflow, team stability, and increased efficiency.

The team’s motto is “we know what developers need in a publisher, as we are developers ourselves, and we supply just that.”
The aptly-named 2 Stupid Devs is comprised of the uniquely damaged individuals Nick (art) and Loren (code).

Now, they spend their days and nights on their Discord server sharing their development process (it’s a trainwreck, honestly) with anyone who will stop by.
