Ultimate Games S.A. has announced that Ultimate Summer, a twisted mix of primitive carnage known from titles like Serious Sam and (un)heroic defensive manoeuvres characteristic of the tower defense genre, is coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in May.
A mix of tower defense with classic shooter. Gather resources, place traps, build towers, and buy weapons to exterminate waves of United Forces of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Cthulhu, Carnivores and Aliens. Tormented by remorse, the retired butcher comes to a ZOO Island to spend a quiet vacation. Unfortunately, he accidentally gets into conflict with the powerful creatures. Peace of mind will cost him dealing with the... United Forces of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Cthulhu, Carnivores and Aliens.
Ultimate Summer is being developed by the Polish studio Asmodev, who previously released the rhythm-and-demon-filled Infernal Radiation on PC. The studio also continues to develop its magnum opus, Priest Simulator. Ultimate Summer will be published by Ultimate Games S.A.
Check out the official trailer!
Asmodev’s new project combines elements of classic shooters and tower defense games. The gameplay focuses on single-player mayhem and allows the players to, among other things, gather resources, set traps and build towers. As the developers indicate, Ultimate Summer is a blend of well-known elements and mechanics, while at the same being the bloodiest tower defense game in history.
“We wanted to create a painfully generic tower defense title. In part, we’ve succeeded, because it is indeed an old chestnut of a game. In part, we haven’t, because it tastes fresh and bloody. It’s because we’ve also added mechanics typical for other genres. Gathering resources, a selection of weapons to choose from, shops, skill development, Heaven, Hell, aliens, blood…” – raves Mim, one of the creators.
Ultimate Summer tells the not-so-subtle story of a retired butcher who heads to ZOO Island for a quiet vacation. Unfortunately, our unusual hero accidentally finds himself in conflict with the forces of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Cthulhu, Carnivores and Aliens.
“It's a low-budget release available at a fair, low price. Ultimate Summer was born out of the fascination with Castle Fight, a mod for Warcraft III. We're not very creative, so we just stole some of the solutions, in tribute to the original devs” – admits Mim.

a mix of a shooter and a tower defense game;

ability to harvest resources and souls;
