Our take on Tunnel of Doom
The defining structure alternates between preparing defenses before battles and fighting monster waves directly, with scavenged materials feeding both traps and improvised weapons.
What is Tunnel of Doom?
Tunnel of Doom combines tower defense with melee and ranged combat in a 1903 mining town.
Players guide Angel into a closed mine to search for her husband and survivors. Mine layouts, perks, and monster battles change with each run. Before battles, cannons and barricades can be positioned against the incoming hordes. Lamps, crates, and rocks can be broken to collect materials for makeshift weapons and trap ammunition. Combat options include revolvers, rifles, thrown rocks or glass, a pickaxe, and TNT. The game has 50 perks offering stat boosts and gameplay changes. Escaping the mine unlocks Dream Mode, an endless challenge.
