About

Welcome to D.O.T. Defence, a simplified yet deeply strategic RTS experience that seamlessly blends accessibility with tactical depth. We offer a simplified economy system, massive automated battles with light command, and a fun simplified upgrade system. Play in short bursts as matches last between 5-10 minutes!
The only objective is to protect your HQ and destroy the enemies! Crafted by developers passionate about the genre, this game delivers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of their childhoods.


D.O.T. Defence delivers a sprawling, high-stakes military epic told across 25 missions and three distinct campaigns. Spanning 8+ hours of tactical gameplay, the story plunges you into the heart of the Chroma Wars, a global struggle for control over a volatile, world-altering energy known as Chroma.
Experience the conflict from three unique perspectives. Begin with the disciplined ranks of the U.C.F., transition into the Zombonomics of Chromatech, and eventually terraform the planet as the Invaders. What starts as a territorial dispute quickly spirals into a desperate race to unleash Chromatic devastation.
No two missions feel the same. The campaign keeps you on your toes, constantly shifting the rules of engagement:
The Classics: Test your grit in traditional wave defence and commander vs commander battles.
Special Ops: Put your patience to the test in the stealth missions or race against the clock in speed run attacks.
Unique Challenges: Solve intricate army deployment puzzles or flip the script in boss mode rampages, where you become the unstoppable force the enemy fears.

Your regions are the beating heart of your economy; defend them against hordes of enemies vying to seize your resources with a variety of turrets. Each turret presents a strategic choice, so mix and match wisely, and sell as needed based on the challenges you'll encounter!

Protect your HQ at all costs by building turrets and production buildings for heavy defense. While Skirmish mode offers a novel RTS experience, try your hand at Wave Defence. Here, you'll expand your territory gradually, gather supplies to upgrade regions, and strategically place turrets everywhere to face surprising and unique enemies! You might be visited by a merchant who offers unique tile mods to enhance your buildings!

Take command with broad-stroke or macro orders. Set paths for units or let them autonomously capture crucial points. In D.O.T. Defence, simplicity meets strategy!
Command your armies across a persistent map where every territory gained is a foothold in the Chroma Wars. Manage your resources through evolving biomes that shift under the heat of battle, develop new technologies, unleash faction powers to leverage the environment, and resolve grand-scale conflicts through the game’s signature blend of high-speed RTS and Tower Defence… eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate your way to GLOBAL DOMINATION!

Gather friends for intense 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all battles, where every decision counts. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or new to the genre, D.O.T. Defence offers thrilling gameplay that scales to your skill level. We offer AI to at varying difficulties (and yes one cheats!).

With its blend of accessible gameplay and strategic depth, D.O.T. Defence is the perfect choice for players craving local multiplayer excitement. Command your forces, dominate the map, and claim victory in this thrilling RTS adventure!

Would recommend for people looking for unique RTS-adjacent experiences. Gameplay comes down to capturing points on the map, adding buildings onto them to produce units and watching as they duke it out with the enemy. There is quite a lot of variety, since player is limited to 4 buildings per battle, yet the amount of buildings in the game is quite high, especially considering that they are 3 distinct factions which play fairly differently. Overall, very impressive, considering that the team behind this game is very small - I had way more fun with it than with many larger titles in the strategy genre.
Probably the second worst campaign I ever played. The zombies are fun but everything after is just complete garbage. You either play how the level was designed or you lose. On all difficulties. You also unlock things over time to use in the campaign. Doesn't matter. Got a cool ability? Don't care. Got a cool new building? Hope it works into the level. If not, you're not using it. The ending level was the biggest slap in the face too. The alien race is completely useless except for it's terribly overpowered titan. If you beat the red faction and YOU WILL as the tank doesn't self heal like every other one does, you have 5 minutes to win. In character? Sure! Is it fun? No. You forgot to make it fun. And then you have to beat every other titan. If you didn't plan ahead, you lose. If you can't corner it, you lose. Then when you do win you unlock global conquest. Essentially, flood the entire map with units and the rest of the map doesn't REALLY matter except for building defences. One of the biggest let downs ever. You had a good premise at the start of the campaign. Stop FORCING a playstyle after you introduce a few of them. Let the campaign be a challenge to be taken from multiple angles not just the same ♥♥♥♥. It has 0 replayability. Skirmish also exists. It's alright.
肝度没那么肝得RTS游戏,老式红警的那种风格玩法,画风也可爱一群大头兵,对不熟悉得人玩起来很友好
这种像素风格的策略还是挺好玩的,有着RTS一样的快节奏,并且玩法上更倾向于自走棋,期待后续的更新
Not fun, refunded before I got too deep. Controls are bad and game is no fun
Simple, chaotic, charming. It can be quite Micro heavy in some missions, but the overall experience is great! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple yet intense RTS/turret defence hybrid.
官方真的会做平衡吗,开了把ai对战红方入侵者ai等级比蓝方丧尸低,蓝方竟然全程被碾压,你会做平衡吗?还是说这三个种族就是石头剪刀布的关系
Dude what the ♥♥♥♥ this is so chill and fun, if you have a controller you have to give this a shot
Искал золото, нашёл алмаз. Игра очень крутая, разнообразие контента, тут и RTS и Tower Defence и элементы рогалика присутствуют, имеется кампания за 3 фракции, сюжет как бы есть но как бы нет, но тем не менее не перестанешь офигевать от происходящего и забавного юмора, дадут поиграть в прямом управлении за большую махину сносящую все на пути. В конце кампании, кое-что откроют, но не буду рассказывать что, лучше пройдите сами, но "ЭТО" то что вам откроют, вам подарит ещё несколько часов геймплея. В общем пока проходил кампанию, игра не переставала постоянно радовать чем то новым. Есть прогрессия в которой открываешь новые юниты, командиров со способностями. Несколько режимов игры, локальный мультиплеер (при наличии геймпадов). Жаль об игре мало игроков знает, потому что я сам её с трудом откапал в недрах стима. В общем за свою небольшую цену, определенно рекомендую, подарит много фана на несколько вечеров как миниум! Надеюсь разработчик не забросит сей прекрасное творение.
A fun, chaotic, fast paced strategy game with a surprising amount of variety under the hood. Extra credit for the overly dramatic missile strikes and aggressive explosion audio peaking.
