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.

X-Morph: Defense - Soundtrack

X-Morph: Defense original soundtrack, created by Paweł Stelmach, featuring 21 compelling music tracks.

X-Morph: Defense is a superb tower defense title with a twist. Those looking for solid action with a side of strong strategic elements will find a lot to love with EXOR Studios excellent take on the genre.

X-Morph: Defense successfully mashes up the shoot 'em up and tower defence genres which is no mean feat. and the co-op mode is a really great addition and helps alleviate the repetitive nature of the tasks. There is at least fifteen hours of gameplay on the easiest difficulty level and as you are ranked at the end of each battle there's a good reason to go back and try again. If you like tower defence and big explosions it's well worth a look, especially if you have a friend to join the battle.

8.5/10
X-Morph: Defense is what happens when you design and implement a modern arcade twin-stick shooter mixed with a tower defense from the ground up. The cheesy style of dialogue and story is mixed with a feeling of masterful power as you navigate a beautifully constructed game world. This is a highly recommended experience.

I'm not great at tower defence, but I li

I'm not very good at tower defense games however I like that this has a combo of tower defense and a flying unit that you can control and fight with.

I love this style of tower defence. I am enjoying figuring out the strategies and learning the mechanics of the game. Great Job!

Good game, nearly great

I really think this could use a few tweaks to make it great, but it was still very much worth a play. It got me to check out Rift Breaker and that is also a good one. Hopefully they make a sequel to this someday.

Great

Nothing not to like about this. Graphic style is vibrant without being so busy you lose track of whats happening onscreen. The story and theme pulls you in from the onset as you play the invading Alien race with the mission to strip the Earths resources away. Missions intermixed with little cutscenes as Earths forces struggle to react. In a last ditch defense Earth sends all it can muster against you. The units are highly detailed and well designed - the art style as a whole is some of the best out there. The game has an excellent intro/tutorial where you learn quickly your X-Morph fighters abilities and weapons whilst protecting the core. Music and sound are great. Wouldn't normally go for this style of game but can absolutely recommend it. One of those games where you can tell straight away a lot of though and love has been put into it, and the team weren't just churning something out for a paycheck.

Don't fly so close to me!

When I got this game I thought I'd be playing the Human leader, so it was a bit of surprised when I found myself being told to chase away the annoying flying thing that was buzzing around a huge spire that had just landed in the middle of S. Africa devastating the little homes. A deep voice echoes, "That flying thing is too close, chase it away." Police, ambulances, fire engines were buzzing about, plus a news chopper and I thought, "How do I chase the chopper away?" You don't, you just shoot it. Well that set off a hornet's nest. All the emergency vehicles start rushing to get out of there and I thought, "Oh well, looks like I'm the evil Alien today!" And I blasted them all before they could escape. A couple of fighter jets and tanks arrive which I blew away with ease - panick strickened little humans screaming as they're vapourised. "They're killing innocent civilians!" Yep, sure am. We just want your delicious resources. It's nothing personal, inferior things. We're surprised you're even aware, we thought you were just algae or something! Anyway, after that, you in your little, but owerful, alien ship, are attacked in waves by the hapless angry Humans and must defend your growing alien base. The Humans have some rather advanced weaponry though later... It's strange wiping out people who are clearly trying to defend and save themselves, yet it comes across like we (the aliens) are defending ourselves! It actually plays really well with lots of detailed destruction on my humble rubbish 2 gigahertz i3, 16 gig laptop (my main better one is in repair). It's good for a quick play.
