Deploy stationary turrets, drop in support from orbital weapons platforms, and crush those who would dare to attack you. Play in one of several locations and unique worlds, each with a different look and feel. Battle with advanced creeps who use unique strategies to bypass your defenses. Engage friends in co-operative or competitive multiplayer modes that challenge the limits of traditional turret defense.</div>
