Sanctum 2
Sanctum 2 is the sequel to the world’s first Tower Defense/FPS hybrid game. Pick from four unique character classes and embark on a mission to protect the oxygen-producing Cores from hordes of deadly aliens who are threatened by their existence. Outfit your character exactly the way you want through the new and extensive customization system. Choose your own loadout of towers, weapons and perks, but choose wisely because you are humanity’s last defense against the unrelenting hordes set out to destroy it.
Sanctum 2 is a new game completely rebuilt from the ground up using community feedback and innovative design to really push the bar of what an independent studio can do.Intense Action – Deep Strategy
In Sanctum 2, you will utilize elements from multiple gameplay genres to succeed. Construct towers and walls during the building phase before the enemies attack, then jump into the fray and blast everything to pieces in FPS mode. You can progress through the single-player campaign yourself, or play with up to four friends in co-op to discover the secrets of the planet LOEK III and learn the backstory on why the aliens are so intent on destroying the Cores you are sworn to protect.Key Features

NOTE: I have around 200 hours on my old account on this game.
Awesome game, unfortunately, it's dead (multiplayer is really hard to find).
Sanctum 3 would be very much appreciated.

I like this game, very Sci-Fi, quite chaotic, but nice. I especially love design of weapons, turrets etc. It's awesome

Recently went back to play this game I loved it as a kid, and man, it still holds up! Pro tip: if you edit the engine.ini file in your Documents folder to uncap the frame rate, the game runs at 400-500 fps, and it feels so much smoother. It really makes a difference.
The music, atmosphere, graphics, and strategy are still as good as I remember and still to this day are just as impressive and immersive feels like a weird fusion of Mirrors Edge and Destiny 2 in terms of vibes and i love it. Don’t listen to the negative review not sure whats up with that guy that just posted one – the real strategy isn’t just in the turrets. It’s all about how you build your maze along with the turrets then the class and perks you have. There’s a lot more depth to it than people might think.
If you haven't played Sanctum 2 yet, or it’s been a while, you should definitely check it out. It’s like if Destiny 2 and Dungeon Defenders had a baby. Multiple classes, different towers to unlock, a bunch of difficulty levels, and tons of progression. Plus, it’s multiplayer, so it’s a blast with friends.
Honestly, if they made a third game, I think it could blow up. Imagine bigger maps, a deeper campaign, more class/build options, and maybe even a skill tree. Turrets could get even better too. There’s so much room for improvement, but even as it is, it’s awesome.
In conclusion just set it to max graphics, uncap the fps in the ini file, tweak the keybinds a bit, buy all the dlc just to have all the content (more turrets, classes, perks, maps.) and you’re good to go. More people need to be playing this game – it’s a hidden gem with well over 25 hours of content!

Tower defence mixed with FPS? count me in.
This game takes both elements and combine them in a very good way. Even today this game aged well, peraphs the graphics are lacking but the gameplay makes up for it.
Got the game for 3 $ with a friend, totally worth it.

Comentario Analítico: "Sanctum 2"
En 2013 estrenó Sanctum 2, híbrido entre Tower Defense y First Person Shooter desarrollado y publicado por Coffee Stain y cuya previa iteración alcanzó 180k copias vendidas en tan solo un par de meses, todo un éxito para los estándares de una empresa que posteriormente se convertiría en un titán de los títulos independientes de altos valores de producción.
Esta secuela hace varios cambios respecto a la IA de los enemigos (Quienes ahora van a verse tentados a perseguirte), ahora las armas están limitadas a sus respectivas clases (salvo las desbloqueables) y la disponibilidad de torres está limitada hasta a 4 con la intención de fortalecer el trabajo en equipo, así cada jugador suple las carencias del set de los demás.
Respecto a todo lo demás, es tan divertido y gratificante como el primer juego, pero reimaginado y orientado al cooperativo a 4.
¿En conclusión? Me interesa saber qué es capaz de hacer Coffee Stain con esta franquicia más de una década después de haberla abandonado. Creo que sus ritmos de desarrollo actuales encajan muy bien con el estilo estético y mecánico de Sanctum.

Sanctum 1 and 2 hit on niche that is very underrepresented in in the gaming space. Someone come develop a spiritual successor and make a lot of money. Same thing with more levels, guns, upgrades, etc. It could be so good.

Phenomenal FPS TD Game. This plus orcs must die are the best of this style of TD of controlling your own character in the mess while making your tower defense. Rip Deathtrap never actually making it to the finish line. Maybe one day that Sanctum 3 will come.
