Rezist: Tower Defense

Rezist: Tower Defense is set in a virtual world where malicious programs try to steal data from your server. You build defenses against attacks that range from brute force to more sophisticated algorithms: some enemies move quickly, some adapt to your defenses and avoid attacks, and others may go unnoticed. Enemy creators keep studying your security programs and releasing more advanced versions.

Build and upgrade towers

You defend your storage by building towers, spending Memory to place them and earning experience with each shot. There are three tower types—Red, Green and Blue—and each can only be built on a tile of its own color. High tiles accept towers of any type and give them an attack-range bonus.

Towers can be upgraded when they have enough experience. Selecting one shows its level, experience, damage, attack range, fire rate, abilities and available upgrades. Upgrades grant new abilities, and the game includes particularly strong tower types.

Use special abilities

The level menu also provides three abilities, which cost Energy:

• Hack: remove shields from objects, one at a time. Once an object has no shields, it is hacked and provides a benefit. Hack can also format unformatted areas—groups of red, green or blue cubes where towers cannot be built—making those tiles available for construction.
• Laser Rain: damage enemies in a chosen area.
• Overclocking: temporarily increase the attack speed of every tower on the level.

Develop your defenses

After each defense attempt, you gain experience based on how many waves you fought off and advance through levels. Each new level awards 3 patch points, which you can spend in the patch menu to improve your system’s defensive mechanisms.

Levels and enemies

The game features a variety of enemies and a large skill tree. Each level has its own visual design, with elements that move in time with the soundtrack.
