Description

Like explosions? Love giant, flying, undead sharks? Then OTTTD is the game for you for you! Alternatively, if you’d like a strategy game that cleverly blends TD and RTS genres for a tactical challenge across an action-packed campaign then OTTTD will scratch that itch.

We've been told by our lawyers we can't describe OTTTD as “Spaceballs meets Starship Troopers wrapped in a tasty TD game shell.” so we fall back on “It’s an anything-goes TD game that doesn’t take itself seriously.”

OTTTD stands for Over The Top Tower Defence. But we thought that was obvious :)

STORY

The year is 2136. You work for HEROCORP™, the universe’s 4th largest private military force. Your job is to “preemptively defend” the Earth against alien dimensions. As long as you complete the missions under budget and fill out the TPS reports in triplicate, everything goes smoothly.

Dimensional travel is facilitated by HEROCORP™ rift technology, which is kinda like Stargate but we’re hesitant to throw that in the mix when we’ve already mentioned Starship Troopers.

Is pre-emptively defending Earth ethical? Who cares when the money’s good!

History

Our first proper game release. Originally titled EpicTD, then TDTDTD before settling on the much more fitting and sensible OTTTD.
