New Aftermath DLC

Aftermath adds five large, open-ended story missions that continue the conflict with Fletcher and Governor Tydell.

✦ AI summary

Defense Grid 2 is a solid tower defense game that delivers the core mechanics fans of the genre expect, with players praising its engaging gameplay and challenge level. The main reservation some have is that it doesn't quite match the appeal of the original Defense Grid, though those who enjoyed the first game generally find the sequel worth playing. Players consistently recommend it to tower defense fans.
