“作为一款塔防游戏来说,《绝望之地》类2.5D的美术无疑成为了绝对长板,不仅卡通风的太空场景美轮美奂,关键的塔防战斗部分也有着丝滑流畅的特效,让玩家在作战的时候充满代入感。而游戏里有着丰富的建筑、武器以及敌人,其外形都做出了差分,保证了视觉上的美观性。不过,本作即便在塔防游戏里也是相对复古的那批,初期挫败感较强,好在游戏本身难度并不高,也并不考研玩家的微操,只需要按步就班地合理分配好建筑位置就行。”

About This Game

We sincerely thank Thronefall and Into the Breach for the design inspiration they provided. We hope to build on some of their great ideas while adding our own touches. Thanks also to all the developers and players who continue to support and enjoy strategy games.



Desperate Place is a space sci-fi themed base-building tower defense game.

In the year EC3040, humanity is no longer confined to Earth and has begun to colonize the stars, exploring new habitable planets. During the journey to the KOI 7711.01 planet, the colony ship unexpectedly encounters an extremely strong ion beam wave released by a red giant star, causing a leak of helium-3 stored in the fuel compartment. The ship is forced to land on an unknown planet, where it must search for helium-3 to maintain fuel supply and repair the damaged vessel. To make matters worse, every time helium-3 particles are brought back to the ship, unknown creatures on the planet launch an attack on the ship. To successfully reach your destination, you must temporarily build a small base to eliminate all incoming enemies.

Build - Resources are the Key to Survival

As the commander, you need to use the limited resources at hand to build a small base capable of completing the mission.

Building a base on the desolate surface of an alien planet is no easy task; it requires careful planning of the base layout and choosing the best locations to construct resource extraction stations and research facilities. To fend off attacks from unknown creatures, it is also necessary to build sufficient defensive structures, including not only defensive towers but also traps and obstacles that take advantage of the terrain to slow down enemy advances.

Dangerous - Overcoming Fear with Firepower

All fear stems from a lack of firepower. Overcome your fear of the unknown creatures with superior firepower!

The game offers a variety of defensive towers, including artillery towers, laser towers, and missile launchers, each with its specific range and damage type. Please arrange the defensive towers rationally according to the characteristics and attack routes of the enemies to form a crossfire network and maximize damage output.

Enemies will become stronger and more diverse as the game progresses. Continuously adapt and upgrade your defenses to give these pesky creatures a taste of bullets.

Strategizing - Never Settle for the Status Quo

To complete the mission, you need to utilize all available resources: barriers, towers, traps, and even yourself and the little robot that accompanies you.

Even if you are temporarily safe, never settle for the status quo. The planet's weather is unpredictable and can affect your established defense plans at any time. Do not have any mercy for the monsters on this planet.
