Our take on Defendion
The defining mechanic is its tabletop battlefield: towers do more than attack, because their placement can block or redirect enemy movement and reshape the route to the castle.
What is Defendion?
Defendion is a VR tower defense game that places the battlefield on a table in front of the player.
Enemies attack structures and can destroy towers that obstruct their route, while tower placement changes how they move toward the castle. Players buy, sell, upgrade, and repair defenses, collect gold from defeated enemies, and use towers with shooting, freezing, or fire effects. The game includes a training level, infinite waves with increasing enemy levels and gold rewards, 4 tower types, and 6 battle locations. Additional gold can come from 2 board games in the castle and servants mining on the map. A castle captive can follow commands and has customizable clothing.
