About For The Fatherland

Will You Be Worthy and Defend the Fatherland?


6 June 1944, the greatest military invasion in human history begins with over 150.000 Allied soldiers landing in Normandy to face the German Wehrmacht and bring an end to the Second World War. The German Reich has been taken by surprise and for the first time since 1939 it is at risk of a defeat. You have been given the glorious task of stopping the Allied invasion and defending the German territories on the Western Front.


Tower Defense In Big!


For The Fatherland is a tower defense strategy game taking place during the Second World War and you are in charge of the German forces trying to stop the attacking Allied troops. Place your units in strategic positions, make use of special abilities, and manage resources to counter the incoming enemy waves on large maps with up to eight lanes. The future of the Reich is in your hands. Are you up for the challenge?

  • Predetermined tower spots in realistic positions
  • 15 tower units including a German Rifleman, a Sniper, a Machine Gunner, a Flamethrower, Flak 88, Tanks, and Planes
  • 17 creep units e.g., an American Rifleman, a Submachine Gunner, Haft-truck, Sherman, Spitfire, Soviet Submachine Gunner, and Soviet T-34/76 Tank
  • 8 special abilities: Smoke Grenade, Mortar Strike, Sniper Shot, Poison Gas, and more
  • Unit upgrades for increased damage and more unlockables
  • All units vary in damage, cost, speed, range, et cetera
  • Two difficulty levels: Rekrut (easy) and Kommandant (hard)
  • Hidden Easter eggs on each map

    At first I didnt like this game cause thought it off, until i learned how to use the units properly and understood what the game was trying to do. After an hour gotta say this game is amazing for what your paying for. The music is eloquent and fits the mood perfectly for this game.

    A neat game with no depth. For 3,99€ it may be worth your time. It was fun for couple of hours. It has some minor flaws but what to expect for that price :D Yeah and finally a tower game where you play as the Germans :) For The Fatherland!

    *The entire game can be described this way* Nice demo of a game... Wait this isn't a demo.

    For a first-time game, it was pretty good. Yes, it has some bugs, and more units and upgrades would've been nice but all around a solid game. The developer continues to work out the bugs and is very responsive in the discussions. I will say the last mission is very tricky if you don't do your units right. Good Game coming from a new developer hopeful to have more games available in the near future.
