About Desperate Place
We sincerely thank Thronefall and Into the Breach for the design inspiration they provided. We hope to build on some of their great ideas while adding our own touches. Thanks also to all the developers and players who continue to support and enjoy strategy games.
Desperate Place is a space sci-fi themed base-building tower defense game.
In the year EC3040, humanity is no longer confined to Earth and has begun to colonize the stars, exploring new habitable planets. During the journey to the KOI 7711.01 planet, the colony ship unexpectedly encounters an extremely strong ion beam wave released by a red giant star, causing a leak of helium-3 stored in the fuel compartment. The ship is forced to land on an unknown planet, where it must search for helium-3 to maintain fuel supply and repair the damaged vessel. To make matters worse, every time helium-3 particles are brought back to the ship, unknown creatures on the planet launch an attack on the ship. To successfully reach your destination, you must temporarily build a small base to eliminate all incoming enemies. Build - Resources are the Key to Survival
As the commander, you need to use the limited resources at hand to build a small base capable of completing the mission.Building a base on the desolate surface of an alien planet is no easy task; it requires careful planning of the base layout and choosing the best locations to construct resource extraction stations and research facilities. To fend off attacks from unknown creatures, it is also necessary to build sufficient defensive structures, including not only defensive towers but also traps and obstacles that take advantage of the terrain to slow down enemy advances.Dangerous - Overcoming Fear with Firepower
All fear stems from a lack of firepower. Overcome your fear of the unknown creatures with superior firepower!The game offers a variety of defensive towers, including artillery towers, laser towers, and missile launchers, each with its specific range and damage type. Please arrange the defensive towers rationally according to the characteristics and attack routes of the enemies to form a crossfire network and maximize damage output.Enemies will become stronger and more diverse as the game progresses. Continuously adapt and upgrade your defenses to give these pesky creatures a taste of bullets.Strategizing - Never Settle for the Status Quo
To complete the mission, you need to utilize all available resources: barriers, towers, traps, and even yourself and the little robot that accompanies you.Even if you are temporarily safe, never settle for the status quo. The planet's weather is unpredictable and can affect your established defense plans at any time. Do not have any mercy for the monsters on this planet.Desperate Place — game info

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Feels a bit raw: 1. UI has typos, missing translation, fails to give some information about changes on upgrading tower etc. 2. Controls are somewhat confusing (would love to build with my mouse, not by running to some spot on the other side of the map or swapping 20 buildings with drone) 3. Gameplay-wise I dislike how crew all have some downsides. I dislike how you need to spend medals to activate tactical abilities. For me fun in tower defence comes from making strategic choices in preparation phase and then seeing the destruction in battle phase, and here you are running around constantly in battle phase to increase firepower where it is needed which could've been good if camera wasn't attached to your main character. If only you could select units with your mouse freely and give orders this way. With this issues fixed could've enjoyed this game, but currently can not recommend it.2 found this helpful
Good tower defense game. Story feels loosely translated which creates some fun moments. Love the shoot em up aspect where I can also help in the tower defense. There are many characters that you can choose from and they will open up as you play. However, so far the only viable one is the first one you play with. The game works great on handheld PC's and I don't imagine that it needs that strong of a hardware to run. However, I tested this by playing it from a micro SD on my ally X and from an SSD and from my PC. It seems to have moments of lag during playing when spawning new types of enemies. It doesn't much from the overall experience but it still interrupts the flow of play and gets a little bit annoying.1 found this helpful
Solid "eh". Superficially it's a fairly decent tower defense game with pretty art style. But it lacks both heart and depth, making it feel stale fairly quickly. Personally I'm also not a big fan of the game telling me which building I'm allowed to build at spot X. You pretty much get what you see in the steam preview, but not much more.1 found this helpful
The scale of monster waves increases very quickly for the limited and lackluster metaprogression you get to compensate. Leading to missions feeling a real slog to get through.
Like it very much
