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!

Reviews
So far, from my tiny 9 hours of game is GREAT, far greater than my level at this game lol, the design is really well made and appealing, everything is really cute, the music is nice, the tower defense mechanics are there, the variety can be felt somehow, and the fact there pretty much is no limit to how you play aside from the map's design itself is NICE, i've been enjoying spamming garages and speed pads to annihilate waves, i think my only problem so far with the game is the camera, it's sometimes annoying to try and upgrade a tower but another is clicked, though the problem is less present than in any other TD game i've played which is nice, but a top view camera would be really nice i WILL play more of this and am really happy of my purchase, if you enjoy calm but somewhat challenging TDs, this should be it ( i don't really know if it's challenging i might just be buns af )
友達とゆっくりと進めている為まだ中盤ですが、色々苦労したので伝えたくて書いてみます。 【購入を検討している方へ】 ・良い点 TDとしての出来は良く、全ての悪い点に目を瞑っても良いかなと思える点 今の所3キャラしかプレイしていませんがそれぞれに独自システムがあり、作り込まれている点 ・悪い点 不十分な翻訳と世界観の強い言葉(操作キャラ→船、装備品→枢機卿etc)により、かなりの解読力を要する点 UIの全て PVではブロックを使った経路指定なんかが出来そうに見えますが、ほぼ全ての敵が建築物を破壊しながら進んでくるため不可能 1MAP1時間くらいかかる 【実際にやる人に伝えたい事】 本作は1ステージ最大30wave(30潮流)で、10wave到達、20wave到達で恐らくクリア扱いになります。何の説明もなく他TDのエンドレスモードのように無限にwaveを出されますが、ある程度進んでいれば盆地(拠点)を破壊される、あるいは諦める事で先に進めます。 ストリートビューのような操作性の船で世界を回るのは辛いと思いますが、これしか方法はないと思います。一応今まで見付けたステージにはワープできる機能があります。 大きな檻に入っている人物が現れる事がありますが、これに関しては檻を破壊するか15wave到達で拠点に向けて進行してくるボスに変化し、それを倒す事で仲間にできるキャラクターです。 スノスノというキャラクターは独自リソース『雪』を使用して戦うキャラクターです。雪製造機は鉱石に円が掛かる範囲に設置すると、周囲数マスに定期的に雪を発生させます。雪を遠距離に発射できるアップグレードの『火力』と書いてあるボタンは『砲火』の翻訳ミスで、これを押してから対象地点を指定することで稼働を始めます。 また友達と進める機会があれば書くかもしれません
