About this game
Welcome to D.O.T. Defence, a simplified yet deeply strategic RTS experience that seamlessly blends accessibility with tactical depth. We offer a simplified economy system, massive automated battles with light command, and a fun simplified upgrade system. Play in short bursts as matches last between 5-10 minutes!
The only objective is to protect your HQ and destroy the enemies! Crafted by developers passionate about the genre, this game delivers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of their childhoods.


The Chroma Wars: A World on the Brink
D.O.T. Defence delivers a sprawling, high-stakes military epic told across 25 missions and three distinct campaigns. Spanning 8+ hours of tactical gameplay, the story plunges you into the heart of the Chroma Wars, a global struggle for control over a volatile, world-altering energy known as Chroma.
Experience the conflict from three unique perspectives. Begin with the disciplined ranks of the U.C.F., transition into the Zombonomics of Chromatech, and eventually terraform the planet as the Invaders. What starts as a territorial dispute quickly spirals into a desperate race to unleash Chromatic devastation.
No two missions feel the same. The campaign keeps you on your toes, constantly shifting the rules of engagement:
The Classics: Test your grit in traditional wave defence and commander vs commander battles.
Special Ops: Put your patience to the test in the stealth missions or race against the clock in speed run attacks.
Unique Challenges: Solve intricate army deployment puzzles or flip the script in boss mode rampages, where you become the unstoppable force the enemy fears.
Turret Mayhem
Your regions are the beating heart of your economy; defend them against hordes of enemies vying to seize your resources with a variety of turrets. Each turret presents a strategic choice, so mix and match wisely, and sell as needed based on the challenges you'll encounter!
Wave Defence
Protect your HQ at all costs by building turrets and production buildings for heavy defense. While Skirmish mode offers a novel RTS experience, try your hand at Wave Defence. Here, you'll expand your territory gradually, gather supplies to upgrade regions, and strategically place turrets everywhere to face surprising and unique enemies! You might be visited by a merchant who offers unique tile mods to enhance your buildings!
Commander Fantasy
Take command with broad-stroke or macro orders. Set paths for units or let them autonomously capture crucial points. In D.O.T. Defence, simplicity meets strategy!
Engage in Global Domination - 4X lite experience.
Command your armies across a persistent map where every territory gained is a foothold in the Chroma Wars. Manage your resources through evolving biomes that shift under the heat of battle, develop new technologies, unleash faction powers to leverage the environment, and resolve grand-scale conflicts through the game’s signature blend of high-speed RTS and Tower Defence… eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate your way to GLOBAL DOMINATION!
Engage in Local Multiplayer Mayhem
Gather friends for intense 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all battles, where every decision counts. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or new to the genre, D.O.T. Defence offers thrilling gameplay that scales to your skill level. We offer AI to at varying difficulties (and yes one cheats!).
Casual Fun!
With its blend of accessible gameplay and strategic depth, D.O.T. Defence is the perfect choice for players craving local multiplayer excitement. Command your forces, dominate the map, and claim victory in this thrilling RTS adventure!
