About NTD: Tower Defense x Arcade Demo

The tower defense game where you take control

Tower Strike '89 is a retro arcade roguelike tower defense that puts you directly inside the defense machine. Place and customize your towers then snap between them to join the fight, blasting away the Derpling Swarm.

Instantly move between your towers

Time slows down as you build, letting you plan your next move and construct the ultimate defense.


Engage

While your towers defend, engage the enemy directly using your own equippable weapons- Twin Shooter, Freeze Nova, and more. Use different combinations to decimate the enemy hordes.


Overcome Chaos

Unique enemies and celestial curses, all challenging you on your path of destruction


Each run is a new set of possibilities and a new opportunity to adapt, discover new strategies and optimize your build. Expand your arsenal, unlock new towers and modules, equip auto-firing sentinels and orbital components. 

Become unstoppable. Every kill feeds the machine.

The first tower defense built for the controller and Steam Deck experience as well as mouse and keyboard.

Fusion without compromise.
