Every map is built from blocks, and you can change all of them. Dig hills down for terrain points, fill water, level slopes and pave the ground. Then stack towers on hills and platforms: every level of height adds damage and range. ### 22 towers, each with a job. Start with Cannons, Snipers and Helicopters. Unlock Tesla coils that chain lightning, Cold Snaps that freeze the road, Acid towers, Cluster Mortars, Missile Silos, Railguns, Lasers, Saw Blades, Portals that throw enemies back, Gravity Wells, Drone Hives, Magnet Foundries and a full Airport that launches planes. Power Plants keep them running, Miners dig gold out of the hills, and Support Stations and Repair Drones keep the line standing. - Cannon - Tesla coil - Railgun - Portal - Gravity Well - Airport ### Every tower grows. Towers earn XP and level up to 10. Research unlocks new towers and upgrades between games. After each wave, pick a reward card: tower upgrades in six rarities, gold, rerolls and more. Max a stat and Endless cards keep it climbing. ### The enemy doesn't play fair. Tin Troopers and Raptors rush the road. Spiders swarm. Heavy Knights march in plate armour that breaks off as you hit it. Domeguards raise shields over their escorts. UFOs drop Blobs that hatch Aliens, and Paratroopers fall from Blimps. Then the bosses arrive: the Blimp Boss, the Mech Boss and the Giant Worm. Kill them and they come apart: limbs fly, armour plates drop, and the ground gets splattered. - Heavy Knight - Blimp Boss - Mech Boss - Giant Worm ### Clanker is watching. Your robot sidekick comments on every win and every disaster, with a switch to turn the bad language off. ### Play your way. Endless mode, where the road grows and forks as the waves climb. Scenarios: Grand Canyon, Islands and Spiral. Challenges: Cannon Challenge. Custom maps: every map gets a code, so you can share it and race your friends on the same board. ### Prove it. Website leaderboards for every mode and map, full replays of your games, and a battle report after every wave. ### Features - Reshape the battlefield: dig, fill, level, pave, and build on hills and platforms for bonus damage - 22 towers, from Cannons to Tesla coils, Railguns, Portals, Gravity Wells and a full Airport - 20+ enemy types and 3 giant bosses, with armour that breaks off and enemies that come apart - Towers level up to 10, with a research tree and end-of-wave reward cards in six rarities - Endless mode with an ever-growing, forking road, plus scenarios and challenges - Share any map with a code and compete on online leaderboards - Watch replays and battle reports of every game - Clanker, your sarcastic robot sidekick, with voice lines (and a clean-language switch) ### Quick facts | Genre | 3D tower defense / strategy | | --- | --- | | Platform | Windows (Steam at launch) | | Players | Single player, with online leaderboards | | Status | Early Access (Founder Edition) | | Content | 22 towers, 24 enemy types (3 bosses), 3 scenario maps, Cannon Challenge, endless mode, custom maps | | Price | $9.99 Founder, $14.99 at full release | | System requirements | Windows 10/11 64-bit (see System requirements below) | ### System requirements #### Minimum OS Windows 10 64-bit (version 1903 or later) Processor Quad-core 2.5 GHz (Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200) Memory 4 GB RAM Graphics Vulkan- or DirectX 12-capable GPU with 1 GB VRAM (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti / AMD Radeon R7 260X / Intel HD Graphics 620), up-to-date drivers Storage 500 MB available space Display 1280×720 or higher Input Mouse required #### Recommended OS Windows 10/11 64-bit Processor Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or better Memory 8 GB RAM Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 (3 GB+ VRAM) Storage 500 MB available space (SSD recommended) Display 1920×1080 Internet: needed to sign in and check your game key (the game then plays offline for up to 7 days); leaderboards and map codes need a connection. ### Explore - [Towers](https://blockadebrigade.com/towers): Every tower, what it does and how it grows. - [Enemies](https://blockadebrigade.com/enemies): Every enemy and boss, and how to beat them. - [Leaderboards](https://blockadebrigade.com/leaderboards): The best runs on every mode and map. - [What's New](https://blockadebrigade.com/changelog): Every update, version by version. --- About the whole site: https://blockadebrigade.com/llms.txt
