Now, first things first...


Official Release

When will Element TD 2 exit Early Access?
The game is expected to officially launch on March 19th!

Will the game's price increase on Full Release?
We've increased the game's scope and added a substantial amount of content since the start of Early Access. By official release, the price will increase to $14.99.


Other Versions of Element TD

Regarding Element TD for Warcraft 3: Reforged...
Due to Blizzard's policy changes regarding custom maps, we will not be updating Element TD for Reforged. There are a number of versions of Element TD floating around out there, but none of them are officially supported by us in any way. If you're having issues with any of them or running into bugs, unfortunately, we cannot help you with Reforged versions of Element TD.

Personally, we would like to update the map formally and fix those bugs, but unless the custom maps policy changes, we can't risk it.

What happened to the Dota 2 version?
Between Dota 2 constantly receiving updates that further break our game, and our programmers for that version moving on to other projects, we are no longer supporting the Dota 2 version of Element TD. Instead, our efforts have been put towards Element TD 2 as a standalone game, where we have full control of the engine and the ability to add more features and content than ever before.

Will Element TD 2 be released for mobile? Or other platforms?
No. Although we have a standalone Element TD 1 for mobile, it brings too many restrictions with it for our vision of the game. On PC, we're able to provide a much more complete experience, with better visuals and drastically improved UI and controls, among other features. Regarding other platforms, Element TD 2 uses Steam for many of its integrations. As thus, we don't have plans to extend official support to other platforms.

Does Element TD 2 work on Linux?
Officially, no. However, some of our internal testers have been running it fine on Linux via Proton. You're welcome to try yourself, but if you run into issues, do know our intended platform is Windows 10.


Future Content

Will you be adding a 7th Element?
No. A 7th Element adds nothing to the balance structure. While it would theoretically add 22 more towers, it doesn't fix any of our game's issues.

What about more Composite Towers?
Cannon and Arrow Towers are meant to serve as an early filler until you get a few elements to solidify your elemental composition. Adding more Composite Towers would subvert the need to transition to Elements, so no.

You can combine 2 Elements or 3 Elements, but what about 4 Elements?
We actually do plan on adding this. New towers has been the most requested feature since the dawn of time for Element TD, and sometime after our full release (post-Early Access), we intend to abide by this. We'll be adding Quad Element Towers, which will add 15 Towers to the game and fill many of our balance gaps. Though it may be a long ways off still, you're more than welcome to post ideas!

Does this mean you'll be letting us reach 12 Element Picks? Or even 13?
No. The problem with 12 Element Picks is Level 2 of All Elements instantly invalidates all other builds. Try it out in God Mode; there's just no point in competing with it.

Will you be adding Hero Mode? What about Co-op Mode? Or Mazing Mode?
In time, we'll be adding modes back from previous versions of the game. They'll be updated and redesigned to fit our new standards. We'll also be adding new modes to the game, ones that never existed in any previous versions.

Is there anything else you'll be adding?
Yes! You can check out our Roadmap, which will give you a preview of things to come, both in the short and long terms. If there's anything you'd like to suggest, post ideas in the Suggestions Forum or on our Discord!
