Tower defence.
Place and upgrade defences to stop waves of enemies reaching an objective.
Hold the line.
Read the route → place defences → face a wave → spend rewards on upgrades.
Some games give enemies a fixed path. Maze builders let you shape the route yourself. Other games combine waves with action, deckbuilding or production lines.
Why place a tower at a corner?
A corner often keeps enemies inside the tower’s range for longer. Check the path, range and target type before spending.
FOUR WAYS TO HOLD THE LINE
How tower defence varies.

Defense Grid: The Awakening ↗Defend a production line

Mindustry ↗Fight alongside your defences
Place defences and take part in the fight yourself.
