Stripping down automation sims to the basics, adding in some tower defense and a little rogue-lite action with retro visuals and you have Melt Them All.

PlayTogether Studio who made Run Prop, Run! and the Mad Experiments: Escape Room series have put up a demo and release date for Puropu Defense Squad. A mixture of a shooter and tower defense.

Dome Keeper is a real gem with a simple yet highly satisfying gameplay loop, and it seems it's done well for Bippinbits. Even though they're working on the incredible looking PVKK, they're not done with Dome Keeper just yet.

It's hard to pull me away from Bloons TD 6, but Terrorformer TD has managed to do it. A tower defense game where you constantly tweak the battlefield as time goes on.

Currently reviewing well from users on Steam is Nordhold: Origins, a free tower defense game with high replayability where you build up a medieval Nordic village.

Developer BCQT released Frontline Crisis earlier in August, and like a lot of smaller games it seems to have flown under the radar but if you love tower defense and top down shooting you need to play this.

Here's a fun surprise for you today, Infinitode 2 - Infinite Tower Defense is a free to play game that just added Native Linux support on July 30th.

While I still grumble that Defense is the accepted spelling as a brit I want to always type Defence but anyway the Steam Tower Defense Fest 2024 is now live.

While developer Bippinbits are working on their next game that has a title so long it's just hilarious (PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant), they are still updating Dome Keeper with a big free update out now.

Developer Sonderland (previously worked on Landnama, Core Defense) announced their roguelike tower defense game Bella Wants Blood is going to release on July 24 and it's a perfect coffee-break game. Note: the developer sent over a key, thoughts will be up around release.

Hooded Horse sure do pick some gems to publish with the latest announcement being Drill Keeper from ShoulderByte GmbH that looks like an intoxicating mix of genres.

With a map that erodes and grows as the game progresses, Terrorformer TD puts a rather unique spin on the tower defense genre.

After releasing the roguelike tower defense Core Defense in 2020, and then the rogue-lite survival base builder Landnama in 2023 developer Sonderland is back with something weird with Bella Wants Blood.

ChronoDojo blends together two genres that I didn't think would work. Putting together tower defense and a beat 'em up sounds a bit odd, but I've seen a lot stranger.

I'm apparently a total and complete sucker for anything that allows for short rounds of gameplay, that mixes in elements of Brotato and Vampire Survivors to let me customize my run and Towerful Defense: Prologue has plenty of that.

Survivor-likes, bullet-heaven horde-games are everywhere after Vampire Survivors showed up and now one developer is attempting to do the same with a typing game in Glyphica: Typing Survival.

I love indie developers because they keep making some of the most weird and wonderful combinations, and a recent discovery is Artificer's Tower. The devs say it's a "cozy colony sim resource management game that features base-building, tower defense systems, and powerful enemies to defeat".

Dome Keeper was already pretty great. Giving you a mixture of mining, exploration, base-building and tower defense and now it's quite a lot bigger with a free update out now.

I think my love for Vampire Survivor like games has ended, and a new relationship has been made with Heretic's Fork because it's simply brilliant.

Bloons TD 6 is an absolutely wonderful family-friendly Tower Defense game, and if you don't own it already you can grab it free on Epic Games and it works great on Linux.
