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
Building on the success of the original game, Sanctum 2 stands alone as the only true FPS/Tower Defense hybrid. No other title delivers gameplay that seamlessly combines both genres.
- Tower Defense – Design complex mazes and build powerful towers to stop the enemies from destroying the Cores.
- First-Person Shooter – Don’t just sit back and watch, jump into the action yourself!
- Four playable character classes – Each with their own unique strengths, weaknesses and weapons.
- Vast Customization System – Pick perks or make the game crazy hard by adding Feats of Strength.
- In-game Visual Novel – Unlock a comic-book page for every map you beat to discover the secrets of LOEK III.
- Progression System – Increase your rank and unlock new weapons, towers and perks.
- 4-Player Co-op – Progress through the storyline yourself or team up with other players whenever you want.

I really Like Tower Defense games, they fit in it's own Unique Niche genre that doesn't get enough credit from the general audience. This is One of the Best tower defense games . Hoping they make SANCTUM 3 . In this game market were people are STARVING for New unique Games This game Fits the Qualification . Games are Meant to be Beaten and well there are many gamers looking for a Challenge :D . I recommend this game , Tower Defense games Like Sanctum 2 are Underrated and Deserve More Credit .

Really fun, casual gameplay loop where you blast mobs (who explode very satisfyingly) and then get little breathers to set up your towers. The characters and perks feel different enough to provide some variety, and leveling up/unlocking new stuff gives you something to work toward without going fully into RPG territory. I really love the way reloading works in this game, and the way TSYGAN having a damage boost on the last shot in the mag smartly subverts it.
It was fun at 13 and still fun at 26.

Best ever hybrid between FPS and tower defense. Multiplayer is great also. Just play it already!

I bought this game back in high school when it was discounted on Steam and I was allowed to try it for free for a while. I was immediately hooked and bought it. I was impressed by the theme and the tower defense concept combined with FPS, especially with the map that allows exploration and discovering small secret details created by the developer. Now that I have a decent PC, I'm still playing it and it still works great on modern PCs.
The campaign may be too easy for some, and I agree, but when I played it, the game really only started when you played Solo and activated all the feats of strength. I got really frustrated (not in a bad way) on some stages and really used my head to complete them. Eventually, I tried various perks and towers until I found the gameplay that suited me to complete the stage.
Welp, I think this game is one of my all-time favorites.

An old game I used to play with friends. I recently tried it again and was pleasantly surprised to see that people are still playing it. I’d say this game is old but gold. It can be quite challenging and the controls are a bit meh, but it gives off such strong nostalgia once you start playing again. Now I just need to convince my friends to jump back in too.
The game ran smoothly, though you’ll need to adjust the resolution at the beginning.

Play this game, holy fook it's good! I really enjoyed this game. I played this from launch until well after the final DLC came out. I played with friends. This is one of my favorite games ever!
