Unique fusion of a top down shooter and tower defense strategy. You are the invader! Use destructive weapons or lead you enemies into a maze of towers. Strategize in the build mode by carefully selecting various types of alien towers or throw yourself right into the heat of the battle. The X-Morph's goal is to take over the entire planet by placing their harvester cores in key strategic locations. These structures transform Earth's surface around them and drain energy straight from the planet. The X-Morph unlock new upgrades and technologies after securing each harvester core. Their influence affects the globe after each successful mission. There's a large variety in gameplay sceneries ranging from urban centers and industrial complexes to dense forests.
