Evaluation

Artisan TD launched on July 22, 2024 and received a series of free content updates over the following year: the Floating Ruins update (October 1, 2024) added 3 new maps and new gameplay systems; the Prince Mode update (February 12, 2025) introduced a new difficulty option, a new map, and a new boss; and the Anniversary update (July 25, 2025) added another bonus board to celebrate the game's first birthday. The most recent developer communication about Artisan TD is a news post from September 21, 2026 — published on the Artisan TD store page — announcing the 1.0 launch of the studio's new game, Deified. In that post, the team directly addressed Artisan TD players, thanking them for their support and inviting them to try Deified, with language strongly suggesting they consider Artisan TD's journey complete: "Thank you to everyone who played Artisan TD... So thank you for being there for Artisan TD." The framing is a fond farewell to the Artisan TD community, not a signal of continued development. No new content for Artisan TD has been announced or hinted at in any post. The studio's full attention has moved to Deified. The last substantive content added to Artisan TD was the Anniversary board on July 25, 2025, followed only by a security/bug hotfix in December 2025. The game launched as a complete product and received meaningful post-launch additions, but the developer's communications now point clearly to the conclusion of that support cycle.

About this game

Join the Artisan’s Guild!
In Artisan TD, you'll set out to conquer the Archipelago of Chaos. Build tower mazes to free the souls of magical warriors corrupted by the TITANS.
Discover new towers and monsters as you embark on an adventure that will take you through 30 unique maps.




Created by a small independent team, handcrafted with passion and precision.
Artisan TD features no procedural statistics or computer-generated waves.
Use the maps' topography and special tiles to optimize your maze.




Building strategies and combat tactics will be regularly updated. Vanquish the 4 primordial TITANS and their forty or so minions with a wide range of actions. You'll also unlock over 10 new towers that you can upgrade.
What's more, some maps will also have specific rule sets that you'll need to adapt to.




You'll be able to manage a small economy, taking the risk of integrating farms into your mazes.
Playable with a controller, this stylized PBR 3D game is optimized for large screens and 4K.
