About Axon TD: Uprising - Tower Defense
Axon TD infuses a new layer of strategy into Mazing Tower Defenses. Typically, you build towers on the path to obstruct enemies and make the path longer. But what if you could take control of the map layout itself and expand things directly? In Axon TD, you're given a brush, and the map is your canvas! The name of the game is map manipulation. Place down tiles to make longer paths and support more towers. Tiles can also bridge to various islands scattered around the map; these provide entire new chunks to maze with. On various maps, you can even place a new destination point! A roguelite mode where you face the gauntlet of randomized maps, towers, and techs. Adapt to a rapidly expanding map area and take advantage of an accelerated tower technology progression. Surviving earns you a place on the global leaderboard. You play as a defense contractor on a routine mission. As you arrive, your ship is shot down, and you're attacked by a robotic force called the Axons. Your only way off the planet is to fight. Build towers against hoards of enemies, progress through a tech upgrade tree, and defeat epic bosses! You may even find out the truth behind the ongoing war… While we have created a lot of singleplayer and co-op maps, there is no doubt that unique and novel experiences which we didn’t think of exist. One of the founders of our studio started game development by modding games back in WarCraft 3. So, we understand the importance of player created content. The map editor gives you all of the tools needed to create any singleplayer or co-op map that we could create ourselves. Online co-op supports up to 4 players. With maps designed for 2, 3, and 4 players you'll find a wide variety of battlefields to conquer and make your own. A global leaderboard allows you to see how you compare to other teams. Will your team come out on top?
Both the Campaign and the roguelite Survival support 2 players.With so many map layouts at your disposal, you want a huge arsenal of towers to play with. Dozens of towers, each with their own effect, fulfills that need. Towers also have three possible upgrades, and these upgrades add either new effects or change existing ones. What complements a ton of towers and a lot of maps? A wide variety of enemies having different abilities, of course. From those that move faster around corners to those that teleport nearby enemies forward, the Axons are devious in their onslaught.

Game is fun. I have played many Tower Defense games and this one is kind of unique. Being able to add tiles and change enemy paths is great. The only thing about the game I really don't like is how it has enemies that disregard the path and just go for the quickest path to the objective. IMO, the game doesn't need that, it just makes it less fun. Otherwise, the game is great.1 found this helpful
ME LIKE THIS GAME!1 found this helpful
Great tower defense game. Reminds me of Defense Grid, and hard is actually hard for a change!1 found this helpful
If you like TD games, this is a good one. It is engaging with lots of potential for the future. I already have 230+ hours in playing time and it doesn't seem nearly half that, and that's always the hallmark of a good game. I'm glad I got it.
This is a very classic Tower Defense game. You have a grid to place towers on, but also gain tile pieces to expand the map with an open up mazing routes. Enemies come in a variety of forms from armored, to healing, to splitting and you get a variety of towers and upgrades to deal with them. The problem with this game is that it feels very standard and unexciting. The whole aesthetic feels kind of drab to me, and everything in the game is something we have seen before. Grid based mazing with these enemy types we have had since like 2005. Things also don't escalate much during games, with no great synergies or fun combos to pull off, just very incremental feeling improvements. I will compliment the challenge this game provides, as getting no life lost runs can be very difficult and you'll really have to counter play what the game throws at you. But sadly that alone is not enough to be fun or compelling. The art and music unfortunately is what cemented this game as generic for me. Its not much to look at or listen to. There really is not much more to say. While there is a story and campaign to go through, with characters and world building, it also was all very uninteresting to me.…
Pretty fun so far.
