    What a awesome game! Perfect blend of tower defence and twin stick shooter. How come such great titles go under the radar and boring crappy gameplay titles like Hellblade are praised to the high hevens is beyond me.

Perfect blend of tower defence and twin stick shooter. How come such great titles go under the radar and boring crappy gameplay titles like Hellblade are praised to the high hevens is beyond me.
    Game has some fresh and fun ideas - you need to manage your defences by raising turrets and destroying enemies yourself and gather parts of destroyed enemies which you cant do at the same time so you have to decide should you destroy opponents or collect resources to build more turrets.
    You also have large skill tree to pick your abilities and other upgrades.
    A/V is also awesome, the enviroment gets destroyed quite realistically.
    Note that its much better to play with gamepad than mouse+keyboard combo.
    Overall - solid 10/10.    … Expand

    This is actually a fun game. I can't believe that there's not more publicity about it. Maybe that's because it wasn't made in the good old US of A. Well personally I like it because it's intelligent and refreshingly different. I'm more into shmups that tower defence games but this mixes both genres quite effectively. If you like sci-fi shooters it's a must buy. The gameplay is smooth andThis is actually a fun game. I can't believe that there's not more publicity about it.

    Haiku Review: Taking over Earth / Towers will stop the good guys / With a ship to boot
    Favorite Thing: A fusion of two genres I don't like make for an enjoyable game!
    Least Favorite Thing: There wasn't enough variation in the levels. Most of it felt the same just with different paths.

    Easily one of the best tower defense games ever, only Orcs Must Die can top it. I love how action-packed it is, you are NEVER passively watch what's happening, there's always something to do, somewhere to fly to, some towers to set up, some artilleries to disable, etc. It baffles me that this game hasn't sold millions of copies, it's a true achievement in all aspects: graphics, gameplayEasily one of the best tower defense games ever, only Orcs Must Die can top it.

    A fun mix of action shooter and tower defence. With the environment being completely destructible, you can collapse buildings and place towers across paths to completely change where the enemy can go.

    Wonderful game, had an amazing time.

    I would have liked more variation (though bosses added a nice touch), a more fleshed out story, maps with more personality (they often looked generic without reflecting the country). I have the complete edition so there are still a lot of things I didn't explore; I only finished the main campaign on normal and a couple of survival maps. Overall    Wonderful game, had an amazing time.

    Certainly a hidden gem. Very good mix of tower defense and twin stick action. Graphics are good even for 2023 standards, lots of content if sometimes a bit too scripted.

    X-Morph Defense is a pleasant surprise. The blend of shooting action and tower defense fits rather well, and the constant action keeps things at a very frantic pace almost all of the time. It could've used more weapon variety and more modes outside of co-op, but as it stands now, X-Morph Defense is an enjoyable romp for fans of either genre.

    Well executed mixture of tower defense and twinstick-action with challenging missions and chaotic destruction.
