About
Defend your Basin, it must stand.
TDS Tower Defense Strategy is a Tower Defense, Real-Time Strategy Hybrid at its core. Build up, grab your friends, and defend against the Tides that approach.
Maps have no path, no limits, and most importantly... Enemies will fight back.


Control a Vessel, they are your anchor to the world.
Vessels in themselves are both a unit and a tower. Control them to mine, fight, and build your defense. Each of which comes with their own set of extremely unique towers to help in this endeavor.
Towers, units. Simple yet deep.
Expand your defense through an extremely rich set of upgrades that all play off one another. Synergistic in nature, there are many combinations and strategies you can employ to increase your effective hold. Towers can expand on one another, Vessels can too.


Handcrafted, fully realized unique maps.
On your adventure you will encounter MANY diverse maps, from floating woodcraft in the sky to massive derelict structures. Not only in their visual design but down to the very gameplay of them. No two maps are the same. And each one will challenge you systematically.
Outsmart, overpower.
Placement is key; you can make it through by sheer power, but you can also do so through your wit. There are many points in which your actions have a bearing more than simply upgrading to the next best thing. Create an ultra powerful single tower, create an impenetrable wall. You can even beat whole areas utilizing no towers* (Please fact check me on this)
TDS is better with friends!
Play with up to 3 of your fellow Vessels and defend together! There are infinitely more combinations and strategies when you play with friends (including goofy cheese ones)

The game has challenges for all with areas containing all matters of difficulty. It CAN be really hard, expect resistance. But also have a fun time!

真的很好玩!!!少見能多人合作的塔防遊戲,美術又是我很喜歡的像素風格,每一關卡又各具特色。能使用的角色也各有各的成長方式與玩法,玩法策略跟採礦模式各不相同的情況下,也使得能研究出不同的合作與建塔套路。每一關最後一波都會出最終BOSS,能撐到那時候就是檢驗火力的時候了XD 通過最後一關之後會解鎖更高難度,能重新刷之前的關卡,當然整體礦物以及路線布局會有所變化,又能重新思考如何通關了~爽刷一直刷
目前玩过最策略性的塔防,里面的地图设计建筑体系很优秀,缺点就是难度不适合大部分玩家,当然我依然喜欢这款游戏
재밌습니다. 편의성이 구려서 처음에 배우기 힘든 건 매우 사실이고, 첫 번째 판 시작할 때는 환불 고려했는데, 멀티도 4인까지 해봤는데 재밌네용
quite complex, difficult, but fun
I have three realizations about this game: 1st, they spent longer on the intro then they spent watching people trying to play their game without a guide. 2nd, I have run into three bugs (A. couldn't back out of a screen so I had to restart, B. upon restarting the screen was set to max size, C. upon resetting again I found myself with the tutorial completed and couldn't get back into it) all within the first 10 minutes of play, and more was found in the next 15 of play. 3rd, upon moving forward with the game, I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A LESS INTUITIVE GAME IN MY LIFE. Literally seen games for $.99 with a more intuitive UI and better overall playability. Very disappointed in this purchase.
genuinely amazing
.
Pretty good Tower defense game that's relatively unique, with fun characters with different mechanics!
very fun; starting out playing solo is very difficult, so just know that, but it's a very unique game and I highly recommend it.
Best tower defense ever made, I cannot be convinced otherwise.
