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!

Dude what the ♥♥♥♥ this is so chill and fun, if you have a controller you have to give this a shot
really great mission design, love the variety of factions and their gameplay. it can feel a little ♥♥♥♥♥ at times, but the variety of missions and figuring out the "puzzle" is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great, i have so much fun with this. Do yourself a favor and play on hard at least, its really fun when it clicks.
honestly, a really fun and creative game with three different factions that are very distinct. if you read this, buy it. i played through the campaign in around ca 8 hours. Honestly no regrets, after you finish the campaign you unlock a new mode that i have yet to try. But yeah 10/10 for me personally
为啥遭遇战里东西需要玩战役模式才能解锁?我就想无聊的时候随便打几把遭遇战,不想打战役! 我要是不玩战役,遭遇战里什么东西都少!就不能遭遇战里全解锁吗?
还是挺有意思的,希望后续更新在遭遇战和波次防守中能带所有的单位,这样可以更有意思
D.O.T Defence is a hybrid RTS/TD game that feels really unique in its execution. Features up to 4P wave and skirmish play modes as well as a full solo campaign! Addictive & very replayable, a real gem. Want to know more?

I give it 3 thumbs up.
挺好玩的一个策略小游戏,一共三个种族,我全部的都解锁了。遭遇战玩了一遍下来,谁发育快就能占尽优势,在这方面人族无疑于最强,有运输指挥官加上可以就近补给的建筑,导致人族扩张非常快。之后可以着重平衡一下,丧尸阵营是我感觉三个中最弱的发育慢还需要迷雾强化部队,同样发育的话就是异界虫族最厉害。最后我希望开发组可以后面弄出组队功能,而不全是各自为战,发挥出1+1>2的乐趣。
Ein sehr tolles casual RTS mit überraschender Tiefe. Die Missionen und Kämpfe gehen nur sehr selten länger als 10 Minuten. Die Kampagne ist fordernd und sehr abwechslungsreich. Die Fraktionen fühlen sich unterschiedlich an und durch die vielen Kombinationsmöglichkeiten zwischen Fraktion, Fähigkeiten und Gebäuden sind wirklich krass. Es gibt relativ viel Freizuschalten, nach der Kampagne hat man noch nicht alles! Die verschiedenen Spielmodi sind cool und vielfältig: Horde, Skirmish und sogar 4X mit Runden gibt es. Mankos: Es ist nicht immer alles gut ersichtlich oder erklärt, Eigenschaften von Einheiten, Regionen und Gebäude sind nicht immer eindeutig nachvollziehbar. Mir persönlich geht sehr schnell die Puste aus, weil einfach so vieles gleichzeitig passiert und gerade der letzte Modus ist auf Dauer kaum auszuhalten. Es macht wirklich Spaß und es gibt noch einiges freizuschalten - die Trailer geben nicht wirklich preis was in dem Spiel drin steckt. Es ist besser man spielt mal ein zwei runden um zu verstehenh, ob das Spiel zu einem passt, oder nicht.
