Set fifty years after a "Silent Apocalypse," players take on the role of a commander defending the last human cities from giant monsters known as Protonovus. [, , , ]

Core Gameplay and Mechanics

• Rotational Defense: Instead of placing towers along a path, the city is built in concentric, 360-degree rings. Players must rotate these rings to bring weapons, artillery, and defensive barriers to face incoming enemy waves from various directions.
• Planning vs. Action: The game is divided between a planning phase (managing resources, placing/upgrading units, and collecting taxes) and an action phase (the combat itself).
• Combat Strategy: Players can "merge" weapons of the same type by lining them up across different rings to create more powerful units.
• City Management: Players must keep citizens happy to generate revenue, allowing them to upgrade city defenses and research new tech. [, , , , ]
