D.O.T. Defence

Welcome to the frontline of defense!

Prepare yourself to construct formidable towers, amassing an army to repel your enemies and dominate the map. Victory is secured when only one HQ remains standing.

Engage in thrilling 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all battles against bots, friends, or even strangers granted access to your PC via Parsec!

Pro Tip: While not mandatory, a gamepad enhances the experience significantly!
