2112TD: Tower Defense Survival
Set 100 years in the future, battle inter-dimensional flesh spawn across the solar system and defend Earth’s colonies from complete annihilation.
The pace is steady, but the stakes are high as the relentless hordes amass in an effort to overrun your mobile command centre. Unlike traditional TD games, you will be relying heavily on micro-managing dynamic action-based abilities. As you progress deeper into the campaign airstrikes, charged attacks, fortification walls and the tactical drone will become increasingly vital and deploying them strategically will be paramount.
Mistakes won’t go unpunished so stay frosty, learn from your blunders and endure to fight another day. Without pain there can be no gain!
A CAMPAIGN TO TEST YOUR SKILLS
The battlefield is an unforgiving landscape and every second counts. Beginners will find forgiveness on normal mode while veterans will be drawn to the challenge of hard. When you’re ready it’s time to put your skills to the test in nightmare and survival.
How long can you hold back the hordes?
IMMERSIVE YOURSELF
2112TD’s artistic style is founded on the nostalgia of the RTS golden era, paying homage to the 1990’s classics.
BURN, BLAST AND OBLITERATE
Deploy the machine gun, flame thrower, artillery and plasma turrets to destroy your foes. Upgrade your towers to their experimental stages packing serious firepower and charged attacks.
DEATH FROM ABOVE
When the situation gets too hairy you’ll be relying on air support. The airstrike and tactical drone deliver the big BOOM as well as defensive abilities.
RESEARCH TO VICTORY
Earth’s egg heads are working tirelessly to gain the upper hand against the new enemy. Unlock new abilities and weapons as you progress.
DISCOVER AND DOMINATE
They call it the soldier’s dictionary. The tactical database gathers data on the battlefield about your arsenal and enemies alike. Be sure to check it often as it will be critical to your triumph against the hordes.
ACHIEVEMENTS & COMBAT STATISTICS
Commanders that excel on the battlefield will unlock achievements as a reward for their contributions in the struggle against the invaders.
What are you waiting for commander? The flesh spawn must be eradicated!

Got this on mobile yesterday and its good fun, and is still good fun on PC.
Well worth the price!
P.s I do wish I could get my progression shared across mobile and PC, but not the end of the world

Steam really needs a conditional recommendation option for reviews for cases like this.
I loved the game on mobile and wanted to chuck the developer some money and have enjoyment of playing this on my PC. Ultimately, pretty worth the $5. Missions are challenging and the maps are varied enough (the later ones' inclusion of more objectives did make for some interesting planning decisions), plus it runs great on Linux.
That all being said, there's no replayability once you've completed all missions on all difficulties and unlocked everything, there isn't much point to replaying missions unless you're chasing high scores. There's very little turret variety (four turrets with two ultimate upgrades each) and fixed placements for them, further limiting creativity and also having the side effect of there only being a handful of correct ways to play the harder difficulties.
If you want a new and interesting tower defense to drop a few hours on, this is totally worth it, but don't go in expecting something with infinite playability like Bloons.

Fun tower defense game. 11.5 hours... wound up being about $0.40 an hour for gameplay time, so well worth the money on a cost-benefit analysis. I like tower defense games, and some are just boring. This one makes you think and plan. Fun, but not one I am going to play over and over. Definitely worth it if you like tower defense games.

It's a good tower defense game on the surface. The skills which are unlocked by earning credits is a bit of a grind fest but if you like the genre it's still fun to replay levels.

I've played like 9 missions so far and it's pretty great. This game is balanced, has lots of upgrades, progression, has replayability with achievements, and the artstyle is awesome.
You can tell the developers of this game actually take feedback serious and don't abandon the game like Elemental TD, Epic War TD and so many others.
My only complaint is that there's only one soundtrack! Don't get me wrong the soundtrack is solid, and most TD games settle for only one sountrack, but imo that shouldn't be the standard. I'd prefer at least 2 just to switch it up a bit

I'm mostly going to talk about the negatives, but please understand that it's not a bad game. This is a Thumbs Up positive review after all.
So the game lacks tower variety. You only have 4, and they're all offense damage types. So this limits the strategy and combos you can do like no ice slowing/freezing or ground unit summoning towers, or even "cheesy" towers like the harpoon that pulls units from Dungeon Warfare. There's one that can be upgraded to a stun type tower, but it's not enough to add a much needed variety to your builds.
Also, there is one enemy unit that is just so annoying to play against. It has the ability to disable your towers, which is super annoying because 1. they're common enemies, and 2. towers take a sometime to go online again after being disabled.
It's not even a matter of difficulty because there are ways to deal with them, but it's just "unfun". That's the best way to describe that enemy. It's just not fun to play against. Maybe it it was a special boss, or if the spawn rate was reduced?
So why the positive review? Well, it's a passable tower defense. It works and plays in the most basic functional level that you expect it to. If I really had to assign a score, it would be a C+ tier. Which isn't bad, especially for the price. Had this been a little more expensive I probably would have given it a Thumps Down negative score.

This is def one of the better/best tower defense games I've played. Alot of depth, cool tools, weapons and tactics to use and can level the weapons up quite robustly. For the default price tag it is totally worth it, in fact I probably woulda payed 10 bucks. Speaking of giving money I for sure would throw money at the screen if they brought out DLC, that be great. Anyways if you love TD games like I do I would for sure pick this up whether on sale or not.
