About Taur

✦ AI summary

Command a powerful cannon with customizable weapons and abilities to defend your planet against escalating alien invasions in this hybrid action-strategy game. Combine real-time combat with tower defense building mechanics, resource management, and destructible environments where every tactical decision—from which war zone to defend each day to how you forge your weapons—directly impacts your struggle to save Taurea from the Imperion empire.

Taur is an action-strategy sci-fi game. Inspired by a multitude of games in classic genres such as tower defense, shooter, real-time strategy and more, creating a unique type of gameplay. Created by one-person indie studio Echo Entertainment.

Gameplay

  • Prime Cannon: Control the powerful Prime Cannon, equipped with a primary and a secondary weapon that can be fired simultaneously.
  • Weapons: Unlock and upgrade different weapons, and bring them to bear at any time on the battlefield.
  • Abilities: Unlock multiple, powerful abilities and use them to turn the tide of battle.
  • Build: Use the resources gained from secured war zones to expand your Taur defenses by building a variety of auto-turrets, droids, aircraft and more.
  • Destruction: Every unit, structure, tree and plant is fully destructible, leading to tactical advantages or disadvantages over the course of a battle as the environment is destroyed.
  • Attacks: Plan your defenses for different types of attacks such as full-scale invasions, air raids, tank sieges and infantry skyfall attacks.
  • Imperion: Defeat the increasingly massive armies of the warmongering galactic droid empire known as the Imperion.

Campaign

  • Control: Prevent the planet of Taurea, home of the Tauron droids, from falling into Imperion hands. Control of the planet will either be gained or lost over time, depending on your success on the battlefield. Should the Imperion gain full control of Taurea, the campaign will be lost.
  • War Zones: The Taur can only be deployed to one war zone per day, forcing you to abandon the remaining ones. Abandoned war zones may incur loss of control, and their resources are lost, so choose carefully.
  • Resources: Obtain resources by successfully securing war zones. Use them to build new structures, reforge weapons and research new tech.
  • Forge: Use the Forge to reshape the quality and damage of your Prime Cannon weapons.
  • Research: Unlock new tech to be used in battle.
  • Overlord: In order to win the war and end the campaign, you must find a way to defeat the extremely powerful Imperion Overlord in battle.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Taur is praised for its impressive visuals, sound design, physics, and core gameplay mechanics, but players consistently report significant difficulty balance issues with random spikes and overpowered enemies that make progression frustrating. The main concerns are limited endgame content (players complete it in around 40 hours), lack of updates since 2022, and a slow early-game pacing that takes time to become engaging. Players suggest waiting for a sale or for the developer to return with new content before purchasing at full price.

has a lot of potential, unfortunately the difficulty balance is rather awful, leading to impossible to win gameplay that just isn't fun

To be honest, the game is awesome. The visuals, the sound, the physics, the designs, everything. The main problem I have is that there really just isn't that much content. after like 40 hrs I played the game to completion with every skill tree completely filled out (reforging or whatever excluded, but that doesn't really add content or replay ability). This would all be fine, as there have been significant updates like adding two massive siege vehicles with independent skill trees and mercenaries, but the last time any announcement was made in my library was 2022. there really doesn't seem to be anything coming, and seeing as the game is paid I would really only recommend if the game is on sale, otherwise I would wait for the creator to return before bothering. Really sad to see tbh.

Super fun its just that a lot of the units we have to face off like the mammoth just do too much damage and has way too much health overall I really like the game its just the power scaling that needs work on, oh and also, 21 euro for this? I don't know about you but this doesn't really seem worth that price :/

Actually, it’s a good game. But for me, it takes too long to get going and become as cool as it looks in the trailer.
Recommended Sep 6, 2026

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
