Description

Sons of Ra is a fast-paced, two player online competitive tower defense game. Players take control of powerful Egyptian Gods, sending out armies and building up defenses in a tug of war for domination.

Choose a patron deity and unleash mighty abilities to turn the tide of battle, or expand your kingdom to gain a strategic edge. Sons of Ra is all about making quick decisions to stay alive and cut through your opponent. Easy to learn, but hard to master, Sons of Ra features a unique style of play that blends the tower defense, auto-battler, and RTS genres into a brand new strategy game.

History

Sons of Ra began as a class project that was developed by a large group over 6 months at Drexel University. The goal was simple: to capture the strategic appeal of real time strategy games into an experience that could be played on a couch, with a controller. After those 6 months had passed, our core team of four members decided to continue development into a finished product that could be adapted for a wide range of systems. One of the best feelings you can get from video games is learning and improving, and we believe that Sons of Ra provides just that, without the high barrier to entry that usually comes with real time strategy games.
