Our take on They Сame From Above
Rather than focusing on direct combat, this tower defense game puts economic choices at the center: spending quickly on defenses, spreading cheap towers across the map, or investing in a few stronger upgrades.
What is They Сame From Above?
They Came From Above is a low-poly 3D tower defense game about building an economy and placing defensive towers against waves of aliens.
Strategies include spending less on the economy to build defenses quickly, covering the map with inexpensive basic towers, or constructing a smaller number of stronger upgraded towers. When defenses cannot stop the UFOs or an alien gets through, elemental strikes can be used. Levels vary in layout and appearance, with settings ranging from steppes and glaciers to hell. The game combines tower placement and economic choices with waves of enemies, across multiple levels.
