Defense Grid 2 Special Edition

Defense Grid 2 is a tower defence game with a story-driven campaign across 21 dynamic maps. You place towers to defend against attacks, adapting your strategy as the maps shift during play. The game also includes online co-op, competitive multiplayer and hundreds of replayable challenge mode variations.

Campaign and maps

The campaign spans 21 maps, with large, open-ended levels that allow multiple strategic solutions. Tower placement and timing matter, and the battles reward planning and experimentation.

The Aftermath DLC adds five story missions that continue the conflict with Fletcher and Governor Tydell. On a distant world where enemies can mind-control their attackers, you must stop future invasions at their source. The chapter opens with a fully voiced cinematic.

Game modes

You can play the campaign solo, defend together in online co-op or compete against other players. Challenge mode offers hundreds of variations with changing rules.

Creation and localisation

The game supports Steam Workshop and includes level creation tools. Full voice localisation is available in Simplified Chinese, Korean, Spanish, English, French and German. Text support has been updated for the DLC, and widescreen support has been improved.
