Overview
Description

Iron Grip: Warlord reinvents tower defense by putting you directly in the fight. As a first‑person shooter you defend Atelia against relentless AI hordes, building and upgrading towers while blasting enemies yourself. Play solo, team up with friends, or dive into co‑op battles across diverse maps, each demanding tactical placement and sharp shooting to survive the onslaught.

Sanctum puts you in the boots of elite soldier Skye, defending against alien hordes on a handful of uniquely designed maps. Build and upgrade turrets, then jump into the fray yourself to support your defenses and crush the invaders. The game mixes classic tower‑defense placement with fast‑paced FPS combat, offering both solo and cooperative multiplayer modes. Its sci‑fi setting and indie polish deliver a fresh take on strategy‑shooter hybrids.
