by

The roguelike tower defense game Into the Slimy Mines is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) on May 29th. This news comes from publisher Wales Interactive and developer Ant Workshop, who previously created Into the Restless Ruins.

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

About

Into the Slimy Mines blends the strategy of tower defense with the replayability of roguelikes. You play as a worker for Ironkilt Intergalactic Industries who’s had a rough landing – you’ve crashed on a moon covered in slime and lost your entire crew!

Save your team and bring back the ore before the boss finds a better dwarf to give the Stout Hammer to. Collect cards and packs, discover powerful combinations, and clear a path to defeat those pesky slimes. Mine, construct, defend—and escape this awful moon!

Dig

  • Dig to Victory – Rescue your crew from 30 dig sites—six unique biomes, each with five increasingly difficult depths. Drag Dig cards to excavate new tunnels toward your missing crewmates. But be warned, these paths are also your enemy’s path! Eek!
  • Groundbreaking Playstyles – There are three unique guilds to choose from: Anvil, Warhammer, and Pickaxe. Pick from six upgradable Drill Rigs and customize with up to 30 different add-ons to match your play style and the location’s hazards.
  • Lore Dive – Dig deep into the story of Captain Firebeard and his intergalactic Dwarven crew by rescuing them from the pesky slimes and collecting up to 20 datapads. Say hi to the ship’s AI, F.O.R.G.E for us.

Build

  • Weapons of Mass Construction – Why not collect more than just your crew along the way? Drills can unearth ore for bursts of money, lures distract your slimy foes and generators keep your whole rig running the deeper you delve.
  • Build to Last – Upgrade your kit by placing another of the same card on top of them. Level 1 Cannon + Level 1 Cannon = Level 2 Cannon, the math checks out! With 10 Buildings and 26 turrets, there’s a whole arsenal to upgrade.
  • The Meta You Know – Meta progression? You’ve got it. Stomping slimes will become more of a breeze with every descent into the mine, with the option of 17 Meta upgrades to use and improve.

Defend

  • Slime After Slime – Defend your rig from the incoming waves of slimes. Blast them away with 26 different turrets each with three upgrade levels, or slow them down with displacers and blockades.
  • Dwarf in Distress – Need a little extra help? There are 15 Gadget cards that can slow or blast groups of slimes and repair your buildings, mid-wave.
