Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“End of War: Global Front is a game that is designed to grow with its community. Every battle contributes to a persistent global war, making balance and long-term gameplay especially important.
While months of development and extensive internal testing have helped us build a solid foundation, only a larger player base can truly reveal new strategies, balance issues, and unexpected situations. Early Access allows us to improve the game together with our community and shape its future based on real player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last between 3 and 6 months.
However, our priority is quality rather than a fixed release date. If additional time is needed to deliver the best possible experience, we will take it.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access we plan to continuously expand and improve the game with new content and features, including:
Additional towers and upgrades
New enemy types
More Commanders
New global events for The Great War
Expansions to the persistent world war system
Improved balancing and quality-of-life features
Performance and stability improvements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is already fully playable and includes all core gameplay systems.
Current features include:
Full single-player and online co-op gameplay
Stable online multiplayer
The persistent world war system, The Great War
Research tree
Economy system
Multiple Commanders with unique playstyles
Global continent bonuses and world status effects
The Gamemaster Mode (1v1 / 2v1) is already available but is still in an early alpha stage and will continue to evolve throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes.
The game will be offered at a lower price during Early Access. The price will increase with the full release as additional content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our community is an important part of End of War: Global Front.
We actively share development updates, patch notes, live events, and future plans through our Discord server. Player feedback will directly influence balancing decisions, new features, and future content.
Our goal is to build the game together with the community and make End of War: Global Front the best experience it can be.”

About This Game

TD END OF WAR

The machines have taken over. As humanity's last line of defense, build powerful defenses, protect your fusion reactor, and survive endless waves of machine attacks—alone or in online co-op. But every battle is part of something bigger. Every victory and defeat contributes to THE GREAT WAR, a persistent global conflict where players fight to reclaim six continents. The ever-changing global frontline affects every new match with live bonuses and penalties for everyone.

THE GREAT WAR — A LIVING WORLD WAR

TD End of War is not a tower defense that ends when you close the game. In the background, a permanent, community-driven meta game is running:

  • 6 continental fronts: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Oceania. Choose your front and fight for its liberation.

  • Every rated match counts: Your score flows into the front line of your chosen continent as "liberated territory" – while the machines counter every battle with invasion pressure.

  • A real, living globe: On a rotatable, photorealistic model of Earth you can see in real time how far each continent is currently liberated or occupied, compiled from the matches of ALL players worldwide.

  • The state of the world feeds back into every match: If humanity holds a front, EVERY player worldwide receives a noticeable bonus – more tower damage, more range, more energy, cheaper towers, more starting gold or faster research, depending on the continent. If the machines push a front back, things get harder globally: tougher enemies, less income, slower research. Even in the worst case there is a "Last Stand" – you are never left with nothing.

  • Find operations worldwide: The built-in lobby browser shows open co-op matches around the globe – front, player count and version at a glance. Simply join, or open your own operation, optionally with a password

No other tower defense lets your single match actually shift the course of war for an entire community – and lets that course of war feed back noticeably into your next game.

YOUR ARSENAL

  • 11 tower systems: Gatling, Autocannon, Laser Cannon, Tesla Coil, Plasma Launcher, Rocket Launcher, Laser, Twin Laser, Plasma Laser, Gauss Cannon and the heavy Plasma Artillery. Each with its own behavior (single target, area damage, chain lightning, sustained beam, cone, guided missile).

  • Modular configurator: Freely combine 11 weapon and 4 support modules (EMP, Radar, Boost and more). Retrofit support modules even on towers you have already built.

  • Upgrades up to level 6: Every tower can be upgraded deeply – more damage, more range, noticeably more firepower in the late waves.

  • Radial targeting menu: Right-click your tower to open a circular menu with up to 10 target priorities – from "First"/"Strongest" to "Armored"/"Healers"/"Bosses", unlocked step by step through the research tree.

  • Challenging enemy variety: Shields, armor, healers, splitters, regeneration and speed traits stack into ever-new threat combinations, all the way up to mighty act bosses every 10 waves.

DEFEND TOGETHER

  • Solo or two-player online co-op: each player defends their own zone, leaks from both zones hit the shared reactor.

  • Separate wallets, shared goal: Each player manages their own gold, but can transfer gold to their partner.

  • Shared research: A huge tech tree (Projectile, Laser, Tesla, Plasma, Economy, Support, Lab) – one player researches, both benefit.

  • A second resource system: An energy/power grid alongside gold – your reactor and power plants feed your energy weapons; too much consumption without reserves ends in a blackout.

PROCEDURAL BATTLEFIELDS

  • Seed-based map generation: Every map is generated deterministically from its seed – same seed, same map, even in co-op.

  • Multi-lane zones: Two zones with crossing paths lead to your shared base.

  • Share seeds: Like a run from the leaderboard? Take its seed and play exactly the same map.

ENDLESS WAR

  • Act structure: 10 waves per act, a mighty act boss at wave 10.

  • Threat draft: After every act boss you choose from illustrated threat cards – risk in exchange for permanent passive income.

  • No end in sight: The escalation continues endlessly until your reactor falls.

  • Random AI events: Hacks, artillery strikes and dropship raids by the enemy AI keep every match unpredictable.

LEADERBOARDS & PROGRESSION

  • Steam leaderboards: Global and friends rankings for solo and co-op, including a notification when a friend beats your high score.

  • Persistent player profile: Kills, towers built, bosses defeated and more are tracked across all your matches.

Join the resistance.

Build your defense.

Fight for your front.

The Great War is not waiting.
