No Tithe For Olaf

No Tithe For Olaf is a humorous single-player tower defense roguelite, developed by a small and promising Norwegian/Swedish indie team that also doubles as a band. The game blends quirky gameplay, eccentric towers, and satirical storytelling set in 17th-century Norway.

  • Procedurally Generated Tower Defense – Each map has a unique layout. Optimize your defense around procedurally generated paths. Every farm is different, and your defense is only as big as your rebellion, so position your towers wisely!
  • Unconventional Towers – Build 12 unique and unconventional towers like Manure Carts, Lambasting Crones, and suspiciously welcoming Taverns – all customizable with addons and ultimate upgrades.
  • Crafty Taxmen – 15+ enemies, each with their own unique strategies for claiming the Kings Tithe.
  • Streamlined Economy – Build towers with Produce, staff them with Rebels, and upgrade your capabilities with Farmerʼs Wit. Three resources deeply intertwined with all of the gameʼs mechanics keep things deceptively simple, but with room to plan and optimize.
  • Roguelite Elements – New challenges each time you play! Wrest victory from many defeats as you gradually improve your overall defenses and abilities through upgrades that carry over from rebellion to rebellion.
  • Royal Whims – The Kings New Year's-speech also brings creative new taxes, and keep each run fresh and unique with run modifiers.
