Molten Armor

Molten Armor is an action tower defense game set on Marina, a remote planet and colony of the Earth Empire. A conflict over the planet’s influence, territory and wealth has become a prolonged war, and you command a defensive unit tasked with stopping the enemy. Your decisions shape the war and the fates of your squadmates, leading to one of four endings.

Choices and consequences

The story is non-linear: your choices can open different scenarios and unique levels, with settings including cities, deserts and snow-covered forests. You may take part in a sea battle, escape enemies aboard a train through the desert, or fly a bomber while shooting at enemies coming from all sides. Squadmates can leave your unit, die or join the enemy, depending on your decisions.

Command the defense

You build defenses and actively support them during battle; victory depends on boosting your turrets and using special abilities, rather than watching passively. Different towers suit different enemies: machine guns are effective against infantry, while cannons can destroy enemy tanks. Your defenses also include barricades, slowing nets, mines, rockets and a tactical slowdown ability.

Battles and forces

The missions range from defending evacuation convoys and taking part in ambushes to breaking through enemy defenses and fighting giant bosses. Several characters take part in the story, dialogue and combat, and each can be sent into battle. Your forces include a sniper, a machine gunner and a flamethrower tank.

Difficulty

Molten Armor offers an easy mode for a more casual experience; the game can also be challenging.
