Fireshine Games has announced ITER, a mining roguelite tower defense game developed by fluckyMachine, set to release on Steam in 2025. In ITER, players assume the role of an Undercity operative, tasked with extracting resources and harnessing a planet's energy using a mining ship. Gathered materials can be used to enhance mining capabilities, upgrade items and equipment, and build base defenses against mechanoids.

Players have the freedom to choose their career progression, with the potential to explore cave systems for new technology and automated combat systems. The game features a unique death system, where players can spend progression points to help their successor's chances of survival in subsequent runs.

ITER has been well-received by Fireshine Games, with Junior Product Manager Tom Knight praising its addictive gameplay. The game will be available for hands-on demonstration at the Fireshine Games booth during gamescom 2023.
