What is Infested Planet?
Infested Planet is a top-down, single-player real-time strategy game with tower defense elements. In a campaign against alien hordes, you direct a small squad, build defenses, and capture alien hives across procedural maps, changing weapons and tactics as the aliens mutate.
For you if...

- +you enjoy adapting weapons to changing enemy defenses
Not for you if...
- −you want to command large armies rather than squads
- −you prefer turn-based decisions over constant real-time pressure
What players say
94% of 3,048 reviews are positive
Players praise the push and pull between squad attacks and turret defense, as well as the tactical choices created by enemy mutations. Some find the game too simple or short, while others say later missions become repetitive. A few report crashes or unresponsive menus; one links the menu problem to an update.
