About Dofense

Dofense is a Tower Defense RTS focused on the variety of strategies and maps.

Dynamic Terrain


The map is not static. Enemy can dig through the weak rock and change the map drastically by creating shortcuts. On the other hand, you can drill obstacle tiles to change the map to your advantage too. The dynamic terrain opens new opportunities for interesting strategies.

Distinct towers


Every tower has a unique advantage. Shock can only damage Shield, Laser can only damage health. Gun can damage both. Pyro can damage health, even with shield intact. Area damage towers are effective against dense crowds; while the Gun engages enemies one at a time. In the tight single lanes, use Spike and Glitch traps without blocking the path. You can craft unique strategies to win a given map.

More than just the Towers


Look out for these helpful gadgets. The Train and the Grinder can get rid of a huge chunk of the enemy, if you build the maze to take advantage of it. The Core Mint offers an opportunity for a gameplay where you start with a tight budget, but with careful moves build your energy output gradually towards victory.

Quirky Bosses


Healing Lips that offer Kisses of health to the enemies. A Constipated Eye that spoils towers at random. A Restless hand that can't make up its mind about destroying towers. The Haunted Tree with guardian ghosts. These surreal bosses add a new flavor to the gameplay.

Campaign


The campaign has a central track that introduces you to different game mechanics one at a time. It branches into 11 missions in which you get to play interesting maps with high crystal count. Crystals are the currency to encode your strategy. The goal of the campaign is to offer a variety of strategies and not to grind you for XP.

Level editor with Workshop support


In addition to the carefully designed campaign, you can make and play your own levels. You can do this in the built-in level editor. It's the same editor that was used to design the campaign levels, so you have access to every game mechanic. It is also integrated with the Steam workshop, so you have access to the community designed maps too.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Dofense as a well-designed tower defense game with engaging mechanics like the tower build queue system, charming graphics, and thoughtfully designed levels that each require unique strategies. The meta-progression system and level editor are highlighted as standout features, though some feel the game could be more punishing against rushing strategies like early spawner attacks. Overall, it's recommended for tower defense fans seeking a challenging experience beyond typical genre offerings.

Great tower defence game. Challenging enough to keep you playing for hours... Also great music design :)

Fun, challenging levels, the tower build queue is an amazing idea that I hope other games use in the future. I do feel like many levels can be beaten easily by rushing the enemy spawner, but its up to you when you do this. I just wish the game made it harder, or more punishing to go for this early on.

Dofense is a really good little TDG with nice (downright cute) graphics and a bunch of different game mechanics as e.g. towers and special abilities which must be unlocked while playing. The levels are brilliantly designed so every one of them needs its own strategy to be beaten, which quite often must be descried in several tries. I enthuse about the meta-progress that allows you to set your weapon upgrades / cost inflations for each single level differently. I strictly recommend this game for everyone loving a challenging TDG. If you aren’t sure about buying it, try the demo version first. But heed the current sale that ends in a few days. Edit: This game provides a Level Editor which allows editing Levels you already reached as well as starting from the scratch to create something completely new. Created Levels can be shared with the community via Steam Workshop. That's a feature that makes this game never becoming boring. You can build Levels in your own difficulty and / or try to beat those of other players.

Not your normal "generic" Tower Defense title - I like the way it challenges you beyond the norm (won't spoil it!!) Was initially put off by the lack of reviews, but was encouraged by the number of updates. Glad I took the chance. Game forces you to carefully consider your priorities. Looking forward to progressing.
