Game Overview
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)
