Our take on Cyber Defense
The defining mechanic is maze construction with a permanent route requirement: defensive placement can slow enemies, but the path from spawn to base must remain open.
What is Cyber Defense?
Cyber Defense is a tower defense game built around maze construction rather than fixed defensive lines.
Players place defenses while keeping an open route between each enemy spawn point and the base. A team contains nine towers, selected from 11 types and modified with 30 elements that affect attributes such as damage, speed, or range. The game includes 18 endless stages, with enemies becoming stronger over time. A mastermind adapts to defensive choices by introducing counters, including faster or flying enemies. Two additional modes are available: Puzzle mode uses selected towers for a stage, while Extreme mode increases enemy strength.
How Cyber Defense plays
