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.

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 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!
