What is Sanctum 2?
Sanctum 2 is a first-person shooter and tower defense game set on LOEK III, where aliens attack oxygen-producing Cores. Across campaign maps, you build walls and towers to shape enemy routes, then shoot the attackers during each wave. You can choose from four character classes and play alone or in co-op.
For you if...
- +you like planning tower layouts between shooting waves
- +you want mission-based co-op with different character classes
- +you enjoy experimenting with weapons, towers, and perks
Not for you if...
- −you prefer passive tower defense without direct shooting
- −you want open exploration instead of mission-based defense
What players say
90% of 14,389 reviews are positive
Players praise the build-then-shoot loop, co-op, and the variety of classes and perks. Common complaints are uneven balance and maps that put more weight on shooting than tower placement; some players also report bugs.
