About This Game

A tower defense game with loads of towers and lots of interactions!

Machinery Defense is a 2D top-down tower defense game with over 30 towers, 20 enemies, and 20 maps planned for the full release! Defend your base (which also shoots) from an onslaught of various enemy bots, each with their own strengths and weaknesses!

Overclock Your Towers

Plan strategically on what towers to place and when to Overclock! Instead of the standard tower upgrades system that focuses on upgrading and constantly scaling your towers, Machinery Defense features Overclocking towers, making them temporary stronger at the cost of some resources and usually more energy consumption.

Harvest Resources

Build Ore Mines to gather Ores that are used to build towers, which are powered by energy from Solar Cells!

Special Interactions

Machinery Defense features lots of interactions between towers and strategic choices!

Launch lasers through Prisms to split them into several smaller lasers!

Launch metallic bullets through magnets to power them up!

Make enemies wet to deal more damage using Electric attacks! Wet enemies can't be burned and using Fire attacks on wet enemies shortens the wet duration, so choose wisely!

Use anti-air turrets to deal with airborne enemies...or use magnetism to pull them closer to the ground so they can be attacked by other towers!

In a pinch? Overclock your Batteries to make them explode, sacrificing them to deal high damage!

Adapt to Powerful Enemies

Encounter airborne bots, fast crawling bots, bots immune to some attacks, bots that shoot at your towers, bots that stuns nearby towers, and more as they make their way towards your base! Adapt to the enemies spawning in each wave and utilize the many towers to handle them!

Fixed Enemy or Randomized

Play Campaign mode, Standard mode with fixed enemy waves, Entropy mode with semi-random enemy waves, or Special Operations with special rules! Hard mode and Night Mode also available.

Unlock Secret Towers

Not all towers are unlocked through the campaign or shop. Discover the hidden ways to unlock some towers!

Analyze The Database

No need for online resources. The in-game database features the detailed stats of all towers and enemies!

Features

A Campaign mode, a Standard mode, an Entropy mode where random enemies spawn, and a Special Operations mode with different rules!

Night mode where Solar Cells don't work.

Hard mode with more enemies.

30+ towers, 20+ maps, and 20+ enemies planned for the full release.

Lots of interactions between towers and enemies.

An Overclocking system instead of the standard Upgrading system.

Airborne enemies that takes a different path.

Detailed in-game stats.

Some secret towers to unlock.
