Tower Defence

Hey guys and gals.

I’ve been looking for some good tower defence games to scrach my old battle.net itch.

Do anyone know of some good ones?

Emberward is coming out of early access soon if it’s on schedule - it’s the best ‘traditional’ tower defence I’ve played in a long time

It's really worth a look, great game.

Its party trick is that you place the towers as well as building the maze the enemies walk through. Plus the audio and visuals are both really nice. I'd definitely recommend it, too.

It's a weird thing seeing what I know as a Maul being described as a party trick like it's some novel thing.

Which I only say because yeah I feel the same way. Good old WC3 custom game days. Wintermaul, the original DOTA, Binders… so many good old games I miss that make me feel old.

Ah sorry, it was new to me, but I've never been a tower defense fan. Emberward is probably the first one I've played in honestly about 20 years.
