A sci-fi take on a Dungeon Defenders style "in the playspace" tower defense game. Outstanding design with a lot of options for building your defenses and fighting the waves yourself. It was amazing a decade ago and it still holds up today. GG!

"A perfect blend of tower defense and first-person shooting!"
Sanctum is a refreshing take on the tower defense genre, seamlessly integrating FPS mechanics to create a unique and engaging experience. Developed by Coffee Stain Studios, this game challenges you to build intricate mazes of defenses while personally stepping into the action to take down waves of enemies.
The level design is well-crafted, offering strategic depth as you experiment with different tower placements and upgrade paths. The weapons feel satisfying to use, and coordinating with friends in co-op mode adds another layer of excitement. The graphics, while simple by today’s standards, have a clean and futuristic aesthetic that holds up well.
If you love strategy games but also enjoy fast-paced shooting, Sanctum is a must-play. A hidden gem that deserves more recognition!
