BTD: BTD

BTD: BTD is a third- and first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world without order, where brute force rules and you must defeat enemies to earn the right to survive. It combines tactical combat with survival horror elements. You can play over 20 short episodes in any order, or replay Skirmish mode, which generates situations at random using simple settings.

Episodes and combat

Battles range from intense fights involving many enemies and allies to encounters where you use stealth to catch enemies by surprise. You need to distract opponents and choose how to engage them: aside from the player's third-person view, you and NPCs fight on equal terms, with the same physical abilities except when dealing with monsters.

The game aims to be straightforward to learn and lets you start playing without spending time preparing. Combat is severe, however: attacks can have serious consequences, and you can die easily. After death, you can try again immediately.

Ballistics and damage

Bullets are affected by air resistance and gravity, which vary by warhead type. On impact, a bullet may penetrate or ricochet depending on the material and thickness of the surface, the impact angle, bullet speed and warhead type. Damage to a character also depends on the body part hit, the depth and width of the wound, bullet speed and armor; the resulting negative effects are calculated as well.

Autonomous AI

NPCs act autonomously, using information they have seen and heard within the same range of recognition as the player. They do not perceive things in ways unavailable to human players, and otherwise fight on equal terms with you, except when dealing with monsters.
