Desperate Place

Desperate Place is a space sci-fi base-building tower defense game. In EC3040, a colony ship traveling to KOI 7711.01 is struck by an ion beam wave from a red giant, rupturing a helium-3 fuel compartment. Forced to land on an unknown planet, the crew must find helium-3 to keep the ship fueled and repair it. Each time you bring helium-3 back, unknown creatures attack the ship, so you build a temporary base to repel them and complete the mission.

Build a base

As commander, you use limited resources to plan a base on the planet’s desolate surface. Choose locations for resource extraction stations and research facilities, then build defenses to stop the creatures. These include towers, traps and obstacles that use the terrain to slow enemy advances.

Defend the ship

The game includes artillery towers, laser towers and missile launchers, each with its own range and damage type. You place them according to enemy characteristics and attack routes to create crossfire and maximize damage. Enemies grow stronger and more varied as the game progresses, requiring you to adapt and upgrade your defenses.

Use every resource

You can rely on barriers, towers, traps, yourself and the little robot that accompanies you. The planet’s unpredictable weather can disrupt your defense plans, even when the base seems safe.
