Brings what grabs you about Gross: tactical depth, plenty of humour and action-packed real-time combat.

Third-person tower defense where you lay traps in fortress corridors and join the fight with crossbow and spells as orc hordes get flung, sliced and burned in slapstick chain reactions. A cocky war mage hero keeps the tone gleefully comedic.

Sanctum

Shooting and gunplay

Sanctum fuses tower defense with first-person shooting: you build mazes of turrets, then join the fight yourself against waves of aliens. Especially fun in co-op.

Snailiens

Lots of humour

A humorous VR tower defense game where you build towers and pick up guns yourself to keep invading alien snails away from your cabbages.

Commando Jack

Shooting and gunplay

A tower defense game where you build a maze of turrets and can also jump into them to blast alien invaders yourself. The over-the-top action hero gives it a tongue-in-cheek B-movie feel.

Cluckmech Oasis

Shooting and gunplay

You play a battle chicken in a top-down shooter, deploying quirky defensive machines to hold off waves of plant enemies. As a roguelike with tower defense elements, every run asks for fresh build decisions.

Spacejacked

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic arcade tower-defense hybrid where you build turrets and shoot aliens yourself while juggling the defense of several rooms at once.

McDroid

Lots of humour

A frantic arcade tower defense where you play a robotic spider-dog, juggling running, shooting, building, harvesting, repairing and researching. It starts gently and ramps up into humorous multitasking chaos.

Sleep Tight

Gameplay comes before story

You build a pillow fort in a child's bedroom, with walls and turrets you repair and upgrade during the day. At night you fight off monster hordes in short rounds, and that playful blend of defense and gunplay is what makes it stand out.

Brotato

Shooting and gunplay

A snappy arena roguelite where a potato wields up to six weapons at once against waves of aliens. Short runs plus dozens of quirky characters and item synergies make for huge replay value.

MechDefender

Shooting and gunplay

You pilot a mech in a hybrid of top-down shooter and tower defense, holding off hordes of alien zombies. You build mazes, upgrade weapons and skills, and protect your base.
