About This Game

MASSIVE OVERHAUL — OUT NOW

The farm got bigger. So did the night. The biggest update since launch is live, free for everyone who owns the game:

  • Sectors — the map grows outward. Claim alien-biome sectors and build on all of it.

  • Mortar turret — 45 metres of range, lobbed shells, big impact booms.

  • Overclock — a new tech track that pushes your turrets past spec.

  • Advancing fronts — waves arrive as a broad line per portal, and a director grades every wave and turns the heat up on good teams.

  • Save & Continue — autosave every wave, five save slots. Stop tonight, finish tomorrow.

  • Self-destruct — a unanimous vote blows the farm from the rim inward. End it on your terms.

  • Lazy cat crew — four crew Catbots loaf, nap, beg and dance, and still fix your walls.

  • Sandbox mode — jump to any wave, every sector open, free tech.

Build and defend your catnip farm from aggressive aliens bent on universal domination.

Catnip Wars is a 1–4 player co-op tower defense game. You and your friends are scrappy Catbots — the last line of defense between a precious catnip farm and endless waves of hungry monsters. Build, repair, shoot, and hold the line together… or alone.

Ranked leaderboard - Steam achievements

BUILD YOUR BASE

  • Place turrets, mortars, walls, catnip farms, windmills, repair stations and more on a hex grid — anywhere you like, your layout is your strategy. Claim new sectors and the farm grows outward.

  • Balance your economy: farms grow catnip, windmills generate the power that keeps your turrets firing. Overbuild anything and you lose it all. Grow catnip too fast and you may attract unwanted attention...

  • Repair, salvage, and rebuild between waves — every wave gets bigger and meaner.

FIGHT THE HORDE

  • 14 monster types, from swarming chompers to armored giants, ranged casters, and elite variants that shrug off small-arms fire.

  • Waves arrive as advancing fronts, and an adaptive director grades every wave — hold well and it turns the heat up.

  • Man your BFG (Bio-Force Gun) for the big waves. Focus down the boss Necros with your teammates.

  • When a teammate goes down, the pressure is on — if the whole team falls, the monsters rampage and the farm is lost to breakdancing aliens.

GROW STRONGER

  • A 43-node tech tree with the Overclock track: unlock better turrets, tougher walls, faster repairs, and wilder abilities as you earn XP across matches.

  • 11+ playable Catbots, each with their own look and personality, plus a lazy crew of four who help hold the wall.

  • 100 Steam achievements, lifetime stats, and global leaderboards — how many waves can your squad survive?

PLAY YOUR WAY

  • Solo, online co-op with friends via Steam invites.

  • In-game text chat and Steam voice chat built in.

  • Quick matches or long sieges — a run can last 5–30 minutes, and autosave every wave means you can stop tonight and continue tomorrow.

  • Sandbox mode: pick your wave, open every sector, try any build.

  • Done with the farm? Call a self-destruct vote and end it on your terms.

One farm. Four Catbots. Infinite monsters. Everyone's a winner. How long can you hold out?
