ProtoDefense by Ubermensch

Build the walls. Man the walls.

Fortify a base with towers and barricades, then take the front line yourself. Waves of monsters escalate with every minute - and your automated defenses were never going to be enough on their own.

Towers fire faster when you're near them. Rifts that pour out endless enemies can only be sealed by your own hands. The energy that powers new defenses is out there, in monster camps you have to clear. Every wave forces the same question: hold the line, or leave it to go get what you need?

Between waves, return to your base to buy talents that rewrite how you fight - pierce, ricochet, ignite, chain lightning, frost. Combine them and they compound: freeze an enemy, then ignite it, and it shatters into its neighbors.

Features

• First-person combat fused with tower defense and base building
• Talent system with escalating cost and build-defining synergies
• Six enemy types with distinct counters, plus elites and a boss
• Rifts, monster camps, and expeditions that pull you away from safety
• Dodge, charged leap, and channeled teleport for battlefield mobility

This is an early prototype. Placeholder art, systems-first. Everything you see is functional, nothing is final.
