Base-building roguelike tower defense game Hull Rupture announced for PC

Publisher Team17 and Despot’s Game developer Konfa Games have announced Hull Rupture, base-building roguelike tower defense game coming to PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.

“We loved the reception our previous games got, but Hull Rupture is us swinging for something bigger,” said Konfa Games director Nikolay Kuznetsov in a press release. “More depth, more ambition, and honestly, we think it’s the most engaging thing we’ve made so far. While our past games explored different perspectives of Despot, the AI that enslaved humanity, he is finally leaving his cramped ‘childhood home,’ Earth, to take on the Galactic Union in deep space! It’s also a bit of a personal milestone for us as a studio. We’ve grown a lot, and this game reflects that.”

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Welcome to Hull Rupture.

The objective is simple. Keep moving. Whatever it takes.

If the ship stops, humanity ends. Manage a spaceship, treat puny humans as resources, and repel relentless alien assaults in a base-management tower defense roguelite where every choice seemed reasonable at the time.

Humans Are a Resource

Earth is gone. Your ship is one of humanity’s last weapons – a living projectile racing toward the alien homeworld under the command of Despot AI, tasked with delivering final vengeance with a cargo of cooperative personnel.

To survive the journey, you must keep the ship moving at all costs while it grows into an overengineered machine that converts resources, materials, and human effort into continued propulsion.

Construct interconnected modules to produce resources, repair damage, boost efficiency, and reinforce defenses. Every resource has its purpose. Humans included, while supplies last.

Breach Response

Aliens don’t knock, they rip holes straight through your hull. You know exactly when they will arrive and where they will breach, which somehow still isn’t enough.

Place turrets, traps, barricades, and automated defenses to funnel enemies into carefully planned kill zones while the humans assist. Each wave grows stronger and more aggressive, forcing you to constantly adapt your layout while expanding. Good planning reduces deaths. Poor planning distributes them.

Select Your Consequences

Your routes determine what you encounter, and each encounter recalculates your resources, your momentum, and the projected duration of the mission. Some paths are safer, others are more profitable, and a few resolve complications through decisive personnel adjustments. Human loss is acceptable.

Different ship models further influence how situations unfold, as layouts, systems, and loss thresholds vary between hulls. These differences affect priorities, acceptable risks, and survival projections, particularly for the crew tasked with executing your decisions.

Key Features

• Manage resources, power, and human lives to keep the system running.
• Build and optimize modules to defend the Despot’s ship.
• Explore the galaxy and uncover dangerous opportunities.
• Face high-risk decisions and adapt mid-run.
• Mix three ships, six modes, and four modifiers for endless replayability.
