Description

Communications to Earth's first interstellar colony in Proxima Centauri have gone dark. In response, Earth has dispatched the Carpathia to investigate. Upon arrival, you find a colony under siege. Your mission: save the colony from these brutal alien invaders.

Siege of Centauri puts you in command of the defense of Earth's first interstellar colony. Set in the Ashes of the Singularity universe, thousands of alien machines are attacking and only you, with your arsenal of deployable defense structures and strategic orbital abilities, can stop them.
Customize the Carpathia in order to best handle the challenges of each individual mission, battle across the surface of an alien world through a series of story-driven campaigns or see how long you can survive in a doomed region where the enemy waves are truly endless.

The enemy comes in all shapes and sizes, challenging you to counter them with the right defense in the right place. Siege of Centauri combines the best elements of classic tower defense games with the strategic depth Stardock has delivered in past titles, including Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and Ashes of the Singularity.

Features

  • Defend the colony on Proxima Centauri from hordes of alien invaders in a vast campaign full of challenging missions. Deploy defenses, use powerful orbital abilities, and call units at the right time and place in order to survive the onslaught.
  • Create your own missions using the workshop, then upload and share them with other players. Download new missions created by other users, too.
  • Customize your defenses using dozens of tower upgrades. Determine what you need in order to survive. Upgrade your particle cannon to slow its target, your Artillery Post to leave fire in areas it has attacks, or your Corrosion Mortars so that victims infect the allies around them.
  • Survive against unrelenting enemy waves in Endless Mode and see if you can outlast other players on the leaderboards.
  • Fight against dozens of enemies with unique attacks and defenses. Beware the Falling Star that disables defenses when it explodes, or the Heart of the Phoenix that forms a chrysalis when destroyed that can be reborn as a new Heart.

Got it on early access. Almost 5 years after full release... Still waiting for it to become a Completed game worth releasing.

Defense grid was better I think. I didn't get crashes like many reviews. Was challenging in a lot of spots (had to change difficulty). A bit more strategy in this I think with the upgrades and stuff.

Pretty cool TD game, however not even like 5 missions in and normal mode felt like it was on insane hard mode. Some upgrades punish you. Towers that did great early on now feel like they dont do enough dmg. And what

This is an awesome TD, I can definitely recommend it. You have a pre-game moment where you define your towers and upgrades, being able to freely respec. You can also choose the difficulty among a big slider to suit the

Its a fun game if your into Tower Defense. I've read that some people have had issues playing it, but I haven't personally had any issues except that there are no scenarios (custom or otherwise) to download from the

My opinion might be a little bias. I really like Ashes of the Singularity. The name sucks. And it didnt get as much publicity as it should have. Its a great RTS. Nothing compares to Generals Zero Hour and that will
