Overall, it's clear that this bundle is packed with value and offers some unique Tower Defense gameplay. I can imagine the general image that some players have when I say “tower defense”, but the first two games fly in the face of that image. Thronefall is a minimalist strategy game where players build and manage their kingdom during the day and then defend it at night (tower defense). Affogato is a slice-of-life RPG that features reverse tower defense mechanics. And then it's full of hallmarks of the genre: Orcs Must Die, Kingdom Rush. Plus, Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance is a fantastic tower defense game and the coupon is just an extra to this package.

If anyone would like to reduce the bundle to 5 items and $7, they will keep the following: Border Pioneer, Kingdom Rush Origins – Tower Defense, Legion TD 2 – Multiplayer Tower Defense, Tower Escapeand Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance TD coupon. That means they lose Thronefall, Affogato, Axon TD: Uprising – Tower Defense, Orcs Must Die 3: Completeand Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Either way, check out the bundle for yourself using the button below (or the available individual games in the list below).

Tower Defense 2 Humble Bundle Deal

Thronefall

Thronefall is a simple but addictive strategy and tower defense game where you build your kingdom during the day and defend it at night. You place buildings, manage resources and set up defenses against the onslaught of waves of enemies. It's easy to pick up, but still has enough strategy to keep things interesting, making it a great choice for fans of indie strategy and base-building games.

Affogato

Affogato mixes RPG, deckbuilding, and tower defense ideas into one game, all wrapped up in an anime-style presentation. You play as a witch who runs a cafe while fighting enemies using card mechanics. There's a nice balance between life simulator and strategic gameplay between managing your shop and navigating story content.

Axon TD: Uprising – Tower Defense

Axon TD: Rebellion it excels in allowing you to shape the battlefield instead of just placing towers. You can build roads and expand the map while setting up defenses to stop the enemy waves. With roguelite elements, co-op play, and tons of upgrades, it adds more depth than your typical sci-fi tower defense game.

Orcs must die! 3 Finish

Orcs must die! 3 is a mix of third-person action and tower defense gameplay where you fight huge waves of orcs using weapons and traps. You can play solo or in co-op and larger “war scenarios”. Orcs must die! 3 really scale up with massive battles. It's fast, chaotic, and more action-oriented than most tower defense games.

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened combines Tower Defense with action RPG gameplay, allowing you to build defenses and fight enemies head-on. You choose a hero, equip yourself and defend the objectives either alone or with others. The combination of loot, progression and co-op feels like a mix of strategy and dungeon crawling games.

Frontier pioneer

Frontier pioneer is a pixel art game where you build and defend a growing settlement on the frontier. You collect resources, expand your city and build defenses to survive enemy attacks. And with roguelite elements and random challenges, every run is a little different.

Kingdom Rush Origins – Tower Defense

Kingdom Rush Origins is a classic tower defense fantasy game with a focus on lane-based strategy where you place towers, use heroes and upgrade abilities to stop waves of enemies. It is a prequel to the series and retains the same polished gameplay and style Kingdom Rush popular.

Legion TD 2 – Multiplayer Tower Defense

Legion TD 2 is a tower defense multiplayer game where you defend your side while sending units to attack other players. It combines strategy, teamwork and resource management, especially in competitive matches. If you liked the classic TD game custom maps, this feels like a modern version of them.

Escape from the tower

Escape from the tower it reverses the usual pattern by focusing on controlling enemy lanes instead of just defending against them. You control movement and set up the map in a puzzle-like way, making it a different take on tower defense that relies more on strategy and planning.

Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance TD (VIA COUPON)

Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD builds on the series with new heroes, factions and ways to combine abilities. You'll still be placing turrets and stopping waves, but you'll be focusing more on how different units work together. It keeps the same style but adds a few new layers to the strategy.
