X-Morph: Defense Complete Edition includes the the following DLC's:
- X-Morph: Defense - European Assault
- X-Morph: Defense - Survival Of The Fittest
- X-Morph: Defense - Last Bastion
- X-Morph: Defense - Soundtrack





Unique fusion of a top down shooter and tower defense strategy. You are the X-Morph - an alien species that invades Earth to harvest its resources and terraform the surface. Strategize in the build mode by carefully selecting various types of alien towers or throw yourself right into heat of the battle. Build mazes for incoming enemies in an environment that provides exceptional planning freedom. Tear down buildings and collapse bridges to support your defense or to simply indulge in a spectacle of unprecedented destruction. Possess a range of unique alien weapons and use defense strategies like you've never seen before in this genre.


Your goal is to defend the X-Morph harvesters from waves of incoming human forces. Each enemy wave is preceded by a setup phase in which the player can check what types of enemies are going to be attacking him and to observe their paths. There is no time limit for this phase, so the player can carefully plan his defenses or choose to start fighting immediately and place towers when needed during the battle. One of the game's key features is the ability to build towers virtually anywhere on the map and to shape enemy paths by connecting towers with laser fences. The player can choose between building long mazes out of basic towers or placing more advanced towers which are more effective at different types of incoming enemies. Advanced tower types specialize in dealing with specific enemy types e.g. flame towers are great for destroying fast moving ground units, artillery towers are best at countering large groups of slow enemies, anti air laser is ideal for shooting down heavy bombers.


As the X-Morph fighter you can engage enemy units directly with a diverse arsenal of weapons. You can morph into four distinct forms which specialize in dealing with different kinds of threats. Each form has a basic attack and a special charged attack mode. The Plasma Fighter is the most universal form - good at destroying both air and ground units. The Dark Matter Bomber is great at decimating groups of ground units. It can also slow down time and release a dark matter bomb that can cut down buildings. The Shredder fighter is perfect for annihilating large numbers of human air units and clearing the sky. Finally the Laser Destroyer is best for smelting large single units. It can also charge up a gravitational anomaly that sucks in smaller enemy units. A large variety of weapons and enemies along with a dynamic, fully destructible environment provides a rich arcade shooter experience.


The game's environments are constructed with a lot of attention to detail and they are almost completely destructible. From small picket fences to huge skyscrapers. Any bridge or building in the game can be collapsed and it's destruction is dynamically simulated using realistic physics. The destruction is not only a visual effect as it can significantly influence the layout of the battlefield. The combination of dynamic environments, laser fences and real time calculated enemy paths creates unique gameplay scenarios.


Humans are desperate to defend their home world. They have created huge, building size, mechanical war machines to fight against each other, but now they will use them to destroy the X-Morph. Each boss fight is unique and heavily influences the gameplay environment. Entire cities will be destroyed.


X-Morph: Defence includes a split screen co-op mode. All missions have different gameplay scenarios designed specifically for co-op play. Enemies attack in larger numbers and from new directions making good cooperation essential to winning. In this mode the game can be played in many different ways, one player can focus on optimizing tower placement while the other shoots at enemies or they can both focus their firepower on the strongest attackers.

X-Morph: Defense - European Assault

This add-on includes a new story-driven mini-campaign happening on the European front. The action takes place parallel to the main story campaign. It focuses on European military forces trying to repel the X-Morph invasion. Wreak havoc across Finland and Holland before concluding in an epic, destruction-fuelled showdown at the Eiffel Tower in France. European defense forces use new experimental weapons that force the X-Morph to adapt and improvise new defense tactics.

X-Morph: Defense - Survival Of The Fittest

This add-on includes a new Survival campaign with 5 maps specifically crafted for this adrenaline pumping game mode.
BRITAIN - Fight an endless enemy assault in a rain soaked maze of cottages and canals.
FINLAND - Winter is already here, but it's not the cold that is your worst enemy.
SOUTH AFRICA - A dense night is waiting to be lit up by countless enemy explosions.
NETHERLANDS - Survive as long as you can in this seemingly idyllic landscape.
FRANCE - A city labyrinth that is about to become a graveyard full of metallic corpses.

X-Morph: Defense - Last Bastion

This add-on includes a new story-driven mini-campaign which takes the players to the most remote locations in the world, where the last humans have taken refuge. The events take place on 4 islands, each with unique features. Chop down massive baobab trees in the Madagascar, slalom among the Moai on Easter Island, reshape the environment in sunny Indonesia and try not to melt in rivers of lava on Iceland. 4 new enemy types round up the package, ensuring that the X-Morph: Defense storyline gets the finale it deserves.

Not my favorite type of TD, but very fun

I prefer the tower defense games where you just build towers and maze them. This game has the following elements that I do not particularly like: 1. A separate unit that I can control and attack with. This means I have to manage my towers and my unit. It's not a bad thing, it's just not my preference. 2. The ability for enemies to destroy my towers. Overall, this is still a great game and if an expansion came out, I'd probably buy it. It's just a really good game.

Got it 2 years ago, didn't play it for 2 years, just turned it on and couldn't turn it off. Great game, the DLCs are a bit on the harsh side, but then again they are DLCs. Most amusing to play, the towers are rather limited in numbers but what the game lacks in variety it compensates with action.

Incredibly fun.

This is probably the best tower defense game on the market. On top of that, it also combines it with shoot 'em up gameplay in a truly enjoyable mix. Add to that the superb physics and particle effects and you got a winner. There are a lot of strategies you can employ. You get an infinite amount of time before every wave so you can plan the defense as long as you want. I found myself stuck in planning phase often, just bringing the tower positions as close to perfection as possible. The hardest difficulty really makes think extremely strategically as every single tower and your choice of what to do with it matters. You can also connect laser fences between tower to shape enemy paths. On top of that, you can actually collapse tall building so that they also block some of them. Just place a powerful bomb at the base of the building and watch it crumble realistically with amazingly well done physics. But that alone is not enough. Some enemies can jump over terrain, there are aerial attacks that just travel along a set path and more. I found myself adjusting the towers and strategy between almost every wave. There are not that many levels but I easily found myself spending 45+ minutes in every single one of them. Making even small changes can lead to vastly different results As for the shoot em' up part, many enemies will shoot projectiles at you, unguided or homing. There are also periodic aerial attacks that don't attack your core but go after your ship directly. You really have to be on your toes as eating a full salvo from enemies can equal a swift death. You respawn pretty quickly, but any lost time is a big loss. There are also upgrades. For your ship's weapons, unlocking towers and utility upgrades. You accumulate points throughout the campaign and can freely switch them at any time, allowing experimentation. This was an unexpected hidden gem for me and I'd go as far as saying that it's the best tower defense game I've ever played. Giving this a 9.5/10.

New personal favorite

I love TDs for the laid back/puzzle aspect of it and this game take that and throw it out the window while giving me a ship with different attacks for different types of enemies, expanding maps will multiple pathways and a fun story with more then decent voice acting. The only bad things I can say are nitpicks like countries army not having any color to differentiate them, nothing to unlock as far as I know ( apart for the skill tree that build up through the campaign ) and a survival mode that is great for replayability but gives you upgrade in a very weird way thats I personnaly dont appreciate. It could use a bit more music, even thought what there is IS fine. Also this game is blue. VERY BLUE. Hope you like blue. Sequel when? :)

Don't think I can say anything new here

Not that hasn't been said already in the many reviews. Tower defence with the added offence actions your little (but rather OP) scout craft. That's just a "scout"? What are their battleships like then? Just set up towers of the appropriate type and in the best positions, they'll slaughter half of the enemy formations themselves, you just need to help out personally with the other half. If they do reach their objective, your "base" in the centre of map, they will begin to grind it down. If they destroy it, it's mission failed. That's probably not going to happen many times....... ..... on "easy" that is. On other difficulty levels, well it gets less one sided toward the aliens. In agreement with some negative reviews saying it is very repetitive, yes, it certainly is, but most games involve a lot of that anyway. Scenery is very good eye candy, and it's often as much fun to just trash that as much as it is to play the actual game.
