"Defenders of the Dune" is a simple and unambitious mini-TD game with a sandcastle theme (oddly very few games on Steam are sandcastle themed). Gameplay itself is shallow even for a TD... think of this as a kind of freeform Kingdom Rush, waves of enemies come to attack your little sandcastle so your sandcastle men have to defend it. You can place structures to help with the defense. Collect resources during the day, survive the attack waves at night. That's all there is to it really. It feels like a relic from the late 1990's/early 2000's Adobe Flash era of a gaming. But this has been published on Steam alongside contemporary, cutting edge PC games. I didn't build a gaming rig just to use it to play glorified browser/Flash games, and neither did every other dedicated PC enthusiast out there. Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox.

Fun little free game, missing significant content and could use some qol updates but wasn't a bad time playing through. Kind of feel like some old flash game rts.1 found this helpful
