Dungeon Defenders II
Etheria is under attack! Build mighty defenses to freeze, burn and disintegrate your foes — then grab a sword and jump into the action! Level up a team of heroes, deck them out in loot, and destroy the hordes by yourself or in four-player online co-op! Create a Team of Heroes Wizards! Robots! Thieves! Recruit a cast of characters to join you on your quest to save Etheria. Each hero brings unique abilities and defenses to the battlefield. Swap between your heroes on the fly to use all of their tools — even in combat! Build Your Defenses Construct a deadly grid of laser beams. Drown your foes in quicksand. Build a wall of flamethrowers and watch the world burn, you sicko. A wide variety of defenses are at your disposal, and you'll need them all to protect the Eternia Crystals from the Old Ones' army. Shoot and Loot Leap into battle and get your hands dirty! Grab a sword, a bow or a laser shotgun to blast through hordes of enemies.

It's a more modern take on DD1 (the first game in the series). A tower defence game where you have a Build Phase to plan & place your defences using a dozen Heroes (with mostly unique towers and abilities) then use those same heroes to fight alongside your towers during the Combat Phase. Grab loot afterwards to upgrade your towers / hero and repeat.
It's a free to play game where you can earn (grind) everything in the game except for some cosmetics. The grind is kinda long but not too bad. It's about a week to earn enough to buy a new Hero. 100% pay to skip at worst, no pay to win. You can also trade with other players using ingame currency (like most F2P games, there are multiple currencies, somewhat predatory "premium" currency packs/etc but it's never too egregious) BUT the grind can get quite arduous in 'end-game'.
That said, while other games, you have this '30 seconds of fun' that's looped? Here it's a 'plan and build', fight alongside your defences, collect your rewards then gear up for the next run. It's a '20 minutes of fun' that's looped.
If you like a tower defence game with very strong RPG elements and lots of action, complete with a stable of very unique heroes (flying witch? woodsy dryad? studious mage? spiritual monk? noble knight? sinister necro? and much more)

The game is server-hosted. This prevents almost all hacking but means you can suffer from lag

Feels a bit grindier than Dungeon Defenders, but then again that's expected given the free to buy model they went with.
At the end of the day it's still a Dungeon Defenders game, and quite frankly it's the type of hack and slash loot explosion tower defense game that just hits different.
I've been scouring Steam Discovery Queues for years trying to find a tower defense game that really compares to this. Every 18 months or so I continue to fail to find it and just fire up this game or Dungeon Defenders when I need my "fix".
If you happen to know of a game like this, hit me up in the comments because I'm 100% interested.

Good game if you enjoy the grind. $40-60 that's what you'll need to get all the QoL+Season Pass. P.S. Don't buyout bag and vault slots until you've gotten the free ones first.

I have played for nearly 2000 hours now, i can safely say that this game is one of my go to games i consistently play it is easy to get into and the community behind it is great hope it keeps continueing to grow. There will be some grinding for end game loot if you wish to push the game to the absolute max but it is not hard and the best part about the game is every single item in the game is obtainable free to play, you can still purchase 10 year old event pets for gold if you can find them in player shops, but is still obtainable free to play.

Definitely a fun game to spend time in if you like tower defense games and want to play one that has a 3rd person element.
