Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led game may find the focus on defending against enemy hordes limited in scope

- Players looking for realistic visuals may not suit the cute low-poly presentation
Our take on They Came From Below
The game puts economic choices inside a tower-defense structure: players can abandon economic development for quick defenses, spread inexpensive towers across the map, or invest in fewer upgraded towers. That makes resource-building part of the defensive strategy rather than treating tower placement as the only central decision.
What is They Came From Below?
They Came From Below is a tower defense game in low-poly 3D.
Players build an economy and defense towers to resist hordes of skeletons. Strategies include giving up economic development to build defenses quickly, covering the map with simple, inexpensive towers, or constructing fewer but stronger upgraded towers. When towers cannot stop the enemies or a necromancer gets through, players can use elemental super-strikes. Levels vary in both layout and appearance, with settings ranging from steppes and glaciers to hell. The game pairs these defensive decisions with a cute soundtrack and an atmosphere that can become tense.
