X-Morph: Defense

Linear, curated structure

X-Morph: Defense blends a top-down shooter with tower defense: you play the alien invader, placing towers while also fighting directly with your own ship against Earth's defenders.

Gratuitous Space Battles

Gameplay comes before story

You design your fleet and deploy it before the fight, then watch the battle play out automatically. The appeal is in clever ship builds and formations, with no story or resource management to get in the way.

Particle Fleet: Emergence

Gameplay comes before story

A real-time strategy game where you design fleets of partially destructible, self-repairing ships and face the Particulate. Battles run on a large-scale particle physics simulation rather than scripted logic.

Control Craft 2

Linear, curated structure

A small real-time strategy game where you command soldiers, capture enemy bases and repel invading attackers wave after wave. Across 24 levels you upgrade your weapons.

Defense Grid: The Awakening

Linear, curated structure

A classic tower defense game where you protect power cores from waves of alien insectoids. Smart placement and upgrading of ten tower types on fixed build pads, plus a dry-witted AI narrator, define the experience.

Gladiabots

Linear, curated structure

You build your robot squad's behavior with a visual logic editor and then watch it fight automated arena battles on its own. The appeal lies in tinkering, testing and refining your strategy, including against other players online.

Defense Grid 2

Linear, curated structure

A classic tower defense game where smart tower placement and upgrades hold off waves of alien invaders. A campaign plus co-op and PvP modes add plenty of variety.
