Join the United Coalition Force and defeat insurgent forces attempting to overrun and destroy your defenses. Build and repair a wide array of Turret Structures ranging from high velocity Smoothbore Cannons to Howitzers firing 155mm air burst shells. Use Hesco Walls to provide perimeter protection. Forward Defense combines turn-based gameplay with the look and feel of classic military style RTS games.
Balanced Unit & Turret Design
Choose from six different Turret designs and learn which ones work best in different situations. Rotary Cannons will work well against lightly armored targets, while Missile Launchers will be your best bet against long range hostiles. An easy to read Information Window will show you the stats you're looking for.
Unique & Detailed Maps
Visit uniquely detailed locations across a vast Middle Eastern country. Hold the line at a sabotaged oil refinery, defeat enemy forces in a war-torn destroyed city and defend fertile farmland near a mountainous village. Each level has a completely different layout so you have to take the environment into account when considering Turret placement.
The Backstory
"On June 6 2028, the United Coalition Force invaded the sovereign state of Kardastan. After a brutal three year war, the UCF succeeded in hunting down and assassinating the Kardastani dictator Haddar Sharif. The war sparked civil unrest and led to the rise of the Revolutionary Freedom Army, an insurgent faction who wishes to avenge Haddar Sharif."

Very early days, but very enjoyable Tower Defense title with good graphics and sound..
What I particularly like is that it "feels real" and enemies are very proactive in fighting back (don't get too attached to your towers).
Would like to see range indicators (apparently under work) and I am having trouble rotating defensive walls (which might be my own stupidity, and I am sure the developer will shortly put me on the straight and narrow).
Looking forward to progressing through the maps, which look very interesting on the Steam page.

First tower defense game I have played where your progress is not saved so if you exit the game before finishing a level you have to start all over again each time at the 1st level no matter how far you got previously!
Ridiculous! Definitely not worth it.

I think the game might be promising in the future however right now its not even close to playable for me.
The UI is unintuative and slow, the settings page is missing basic settings like changing keybinds etc. (which can be done before starting the game but thats just annoying)
Basic game mechanics like rotating an object for example defense walls are not really working (you can do it in some hacky way apparently). You cannot change effect/sound volume except for music this game keeps blasting my ears. Also I have encountered several issues like enemies taking ages to appear even with fast forward enabled.
In general the sound design feels off to me like just a sound playing thats not properly adjusted to the game its way to loud and sounds like Im standing inside the turret or whatever is firing.
I wish the dev best of luck for the future but at this point in time I cannot recommend this game.

Satisfying tower-defence. Each game last only a couple of minutes. Great for some stimulation while sitting on a boring conf-call...
