Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Oaken Tower”. Oaken Tower is a synergy-heavy PvP auto battler where your tower of items fights other players. Build deadly combos and scale exponentially. Every decision matters.
There is a very specific kind of itch, the one that makes you whisper “one more shop phase” at 2am, that the async autobattler boom has been scratching with surgical precision lately, and Oaken Tower from Bocary Studios is angling straight for it. Built around a neat vertical conceit, your loadout is a literal stacked tower of items that does the fighting for you against another player’s tower, no live opponent required. Each round you buy from a shop, level up for higher rarities, roll for upgrades, freeze what you want to keep, and chase the genre-classic thrill of slamming three copies together into a beefed-up triple. With 100-plus items and the kind of exponential synergy curve that turns a tidy little build into a screen-clearing avalanche by the late rounds, it sits comfortably in the lineage of The Bazaar and Backpack Battles while keeping its own pixel-art, tower-stacking identity. With a demo already live to test the waters, this is exactly the sort of low-friction, high-compulsion time sink that quietly deletes a fortnight.
