Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Sep 4 → 0.29/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.38/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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 simple things may very much be the most complex" - Me
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!

sno... snoo...
Solid game. Pretty fun, but without the tutorial, you will be absolutely confused. Also, the UI is a bit weird, takes a while to get used to. That is one of the main weaknesses of TDS. By the way, its weird that some upgrade paths dont have T3, T4 or T5 upgrades... Apart from that, nothing else really, except the fact that u cannot rejoin a match if u had a disconnect in coop. Still neat, keep up the good work! ...and pls update NK some day....
quite complex, difficult, but fun
Incredibly fun game, usually not too into Tower Defense but this game does something with its gameplay that I rarely see elsewhere and at the same time visually and narratively stands out from the crowd. 10/10
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
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.
