Let’s get this started then!
Orcs Must Die 2
The ULTIMATE tower defense is here and it comes in the form of orcs that want your blood.
Really they just want to smash your head in a lil and take your tower away from you.
Now don’t let the cover put you off, this one of my all-time favorite games as it involves protecting your base, using weird traps, attacks and walls to block orcs and if all goes wrong you can result to using your own weapons to take these suckers out.
Let’s just say it’s all that I said above and 10 x more and as you progress you unlock more, get better and you’ll start feeling the addictive grip this amazing game has on you.
Now like all the games on the list I have a massive discount steam code that gets you 65% off just go here: Orcs Must Die Discount.
Plants VS Zombies
It’s time to tone things down for a second and give you the MOST famous tower defense game…
…Yes that game is plants vs zombies and if you have a smartphone the chances are you’ve played the heck out of it.
but you can now get it for PC and re-live the pure awesomeness of protecting your house with ninja plants and their secret zombie destroying abilities…
…I’M PUMPED JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!
Now this isn’t a first person game (unless you get on PS4 or Xbox), but don’t let that fool you, this game really does hook in even the most hardcore gamers.
There’s just something about creating a strategy to protect something and this game hit’s that right on the head.
Sanctum 2
I’m going to be honest with you… Sanctum 2 is probably the best game on this list.
If you enjoy awesome graphics, a tower defense experience with guns, wall building, traps, multiplayer, first person, points (xp) and real strategy, then you have to get sanctum.
Not just that, but it doesn’t take a crazy GAMING PC to play it, so if you’re just on a normal computer you’re going to be awesome and be able to enjoy the pure madness of this tower defense game.
