Our take on Sleep Attack
The defining mechanic is battlefield rotation: changing the terrain changes the routes enemies take, linking tower placement with path control during each defense.
What is Sleep Attack?
Sleep Attack is a tower defense game in which players control the battlefield layout and determine the routes invading enemies follow.
Turrets can be placed and upgraded to attack incoming foes, while rotating the terrain sends them along different paths. The game includes nine turret types with distinct strengths and weaknesses, 17 enemy types with different abilities, and six dream worlds containing multiple levels. Large bosses have individual attacks and abilities, and spells provide another option when defenses are under pressure. The PC version includes visual and gameplay changes. Its structure combines tower placement, route control, and strategic upgrades across several possible paths.
