Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 6 h ago
A unique first-person tower defense hybrid with satisfying maze-building and great co-op, but dated, repetitive and tough solo. Skip it if you already have Sanctum 2.
Great for
Tower defense fans and co-op groups who like maze-building plus hands-on shooting
Main risk
Dated, repetitive and punishing solo, with dead multiplayer and a better sequel available

“I feel like its surprisingly shallow gameplay wise. Just build towers along an enemies path, and unload your weapons into them as fast as you can.”
