Description

"Guardians of the Sanctree" is a 2D hand-drawn co-op game featuring cooperative base-building, automation, exploration, and tower defense survival. Players lead as commanders in the avian military government, restoring Sanctree cities, defending against underground insectoid attacks, and establishing solid defenses.
Gameplay offers diverse roles for player, from production line designers to elite warriors and intrepid explorers uncovering subterranean wonders.



In Sanctree, gather resources to craft tools, weapons, settlements, and strongholds. Use workstations or unlock advanced tech to create unique, buffed items, boosting survival and enabling deeper exploration.
Survival is key in game. Hunt for food, battle underground creatures, and test your strategies to shape Sanctree's fate.



In this game, you take on the role of an avian general in an ancient Sanctree, constructing and managing your base. Build NPC tents, lay different pathways, and strategically plan resource gathering, production, and distribution. Design unique production lines and utilize NPCs as conveyors to ensure smooth operation and automation, overcoming various challenges in the process.


Here, you'll defend the core of the Sanctree against relentless enemy waves. Use turrets, traps, and barricades strategically to protect your base. With clever map layouts and upgraded defenses, you'll stop the enemy in their tracks and crush their invasion. Get ready for an intense tower defense challenge and show your skills as a top commander!



In Sanctree, you'll embark on a journey into a mysterious and dangerous world as an adventurer. Explore deep underground caves and mysterious realms where valuable treasures and unknown creatures await. Plan your routes, lead your companions, and uncover the secrets of this subterranean world. Each expedition promises surprises and challenges.



Enjoy different thrills in both online multiplayer and single-player modes in the game. Whether you want to lead strategically or excel as a team player, fighting alongside friends (each with their role), Sanctree offers moments of glory tailored just for you!

*SOME SPOILERS* (most in second half) Don't bother playing this game right now, it absolutely still feels unfinished. There was multiple patches most of which broke more of the game rather than fixed it while playing.

The game is cute, but it's still in a beta or early access state. Many things are not explained, a lot of the UI is actively unfriendly to the player. Text overlapping other text or other parts of the UI. Logistics is a

Wish I could review it positively, but the further I get, the more bugs and poor optimization I discover. Constant stuttering, lag, slow inputs, vanishing items and invisible enemies, machines barely functioning and the

The game still has a ways to go I think. Especially for its price. It's very prone to bugs, supposedly especially in multiplayer, though I wasn't able to test that myself. The devs make a very good impression, though,
