TDS Tower Defense Strategy is a Tower Defense, Real-Time Strategy Hybrid at its core. Build up, defend, and survive the Tides that approach.
Control a Vessel, they are your anchor to the world.
Vessels in themselves are both a unit and a tower. Control them to mine, fight, and build your defense. Each of which comes with their own set of extremely unique towers to help in this endeavor.
Towers, units. Simple yet deep.
Expand your defense through an extremely rich set of upgrades that all play off one another. Synergistic in nature, there are many combinations and strategies you can employ to increase your effective hold. Towers can expand on one another, Vessels can too.
Outsmart, overpower.
Placement is key; you can make it through by sheer power, but you can also do so through your wit. There are many points in which your actions have a bearing more than simply upgrading to the next best thing. Create an ultra powerful single tower, create an impenetrable wall. You can even beat whole areas utilizing no towers* (Please fact check me on this)
TDS is better with friends!
Play with up to 3 of your fellow Vessels and defend together! There are infinitely more combinations and strategies when you play with friends (including goofy cheese ones)
The game has challenges for all with areas containing all matters of difficulty. It CAN be really hard, expect resistance. But also have a fun time!

This patch comes with a long-promised feature of adding a full controller support to the game on default! It was much larger than I thought it would be! But results in a rather seamless experience! (Imagine doing work to make it so folks never realized you worked on it! Amazing!)
NEW
CONTROLLER SUPPORT! - A full game adjustment! Plug in a controller at anytime during the game and it should work!
Added new 'hotkey-ing' to most menus, pressing ESC will usually back out of them now!
Added a new 'Reset Tutorial Tips' Button into settings for the few cases this might be wanted! It'll also replay the tutorial in the case you are in the main menu
Added on-screen indication whenever the game 'saves' the game! Which generally happens upon exting/beating maps and the start of the overworld!
Added new 'Next Upgrades' indicators whenever you hover over an upgrade! This will tell you the next upgrades coming up, and make the branching abit more clearer!
Added new 'blips' on the Upgrades tab that give you a brief view of the upgrades the unit might have already!
FIXES/CHANGES
Fixed a bug with waypoints appearing as doubles in certain regions
Fixed a bug with upgrades being able to double up when pressing hotkeys at the same itme
Cardinal Money Bag no longer pierces, but now deals damage in an area. It no longer applies multiple ticks of donation aura when hitting things (abit of an oversight!)
Fie's 'Secret' Knight's scaling has been reduced by 75%
Fie's Wall now is considered a 'offensive' tower, gaining the effects of Paper Tower/Rusty Pipe/Etc. (Still bugged sorta, they do not grant any damage boost still, still working on it)
Fie's Silo gun generation now PAUSES rather than resets upon changing ores/rerouting/etc. (Relevant for maps like Maybeth)
Buster's Pure Ex now scales with enemy current health, this is less effective towards healthier targets, but lasts significantly longer at lower healths
Edited the Elite variant names of various enemies to be more 'on theme' with the weapons thing going on
Hyper -> Superheated
Chaos -> Fractured
Various Overworld and general control fixes/improvements!
Other bugfixes, tbh I forgot bc of hyperfocusing on controller :P
