What is X-Morph: Defense?

This top-down shooter and tower defense game puts you in control of an alien invader protecting resource harvesters from human forces on Earth. In each mission, you place towers and link them with laser fences to change enemy paths, then fly a fighter craft and shoot attackers during waves. You can also collapse buildings and bridges to shape the battlefield.

For you if...

  • +you like unhurried planning followed by hectic defense
  • +you enjoy shaping enemy routes with towers and fences
  • +you want shared-screen co-op for wave defense

Not for you if...

  • −you want towers to do most of the fighting
  • −you dislike switching attention between building and shooting
