Forward Defense is a singleplayer tower defense game for the PC. Join the United Coalition Force and defeat incoming waves of insurgent forces.


UI Horizontal Story

On June 6 2028, the United Coalition Force invaded the sovereign state of Kardastan. After a brutal three year war, the UCF succeeded in hunting down and assassinating the Kardastani dictator Haddar Sharif. The war sparked civil unrest and led to the rise of the Revolutionary Freedom Army, an insurgent faction who wishes to avenge Haddar Sharif. The RFA relies heavily on guerilla warfare, improvised weaponry, sabotage and hit-and-run tactics.

UI Horizontal Gameplay

You'll be in charge of a well equipped UCF artillery regiment. Your task will be to strategically build and maintain a variety of Turret Structures ranging from high velocity Smoothbore Cannons to Howitzers firing 155mm air burst shells. You'll be able to use Hesco Walls to provide perimiter protection, and install upgrades on your Turrets to increase your range and firepower.

Use Target Prioritization modes to prioritize certain targets over others. If you're encountering heavily armored targets like Armored Cars, you might want your Turrets to engage those targets first.

While we’re doing everything we can to ensure a steady framerate on any system, we do recommend having at least a mid-range CPU and a mid-range GPU. Some of our levels feature large amounts of units onscreen which may cause some dips in performance. Playing Forward Defense on entry level graphics cards may result in suboptimal framerates, especially on screen resolutions above 1920 x 1080.

UI Horizontal Players

We're aiming to create a highly polished and detailed tower defense game with familiar gameplay and a modern military visual style. Forward Defense will be launching in Early Access first, so you'll be able to play the game very early on. We're very open to community feedback and want to slowly expand the game with new features, while keeping a close eye on performance. If you have any ideas or concerns, we would love to hear from you!
