Our take on Puropu Defense Squad
Its defining structure is the combination of third-person hero combat and tower defense: players fight directly while building defenses around the Extractor against incoming waves.
What is Puropu Defense Squad?
Play as a sentient object defending the Extractor, the core of Puropu civilization, from waves of human invaders.
The game combines third-person combat with tower defense across a campaign playable alone or with up to 3 friends. Choose heroes with different playstyles, then develop them through talent trees, items, and XP-based upgrades. Build defensive mazes from 15 traps, including saws and laser turrets, while using the Research Center to unlock building traits and combinations. Campaign maps support Normal, Elite, Heroic, and Infinite modes, with difficulty adapting to party size. Enemies include flying units, healers, tanks, cloners, and fast runners with distinct abilities.
