Tower Defense?

[Xantanash]

On steam's front page where this game is shown on the top row, it has 2 tags: Tower Defense and RTS. Yet when I go to the store page for the game, tower defense is not in the tags.

My question to you guys who own the game, is it really Tower Defense?

Want to know before buying what might be false tags.

Thank you

I would not call it Tower Defense. There's one mission near the end which follows a bit of the TD formula but there are only three types of "towers" you can build and they're mounted guns. You're commanding troops.

Retsuo is right.
Its not a Tower Defense game.
You control squads of soldiers
move them around the map and do objectives clear hives and kill bugs.
If you a have an Engineer soldier then you can sometimes get him to but up a Turrents machinegun
,that will shoot the bugs
thats the closest you get to Tower Defense.
Go on youtube and watch gameplay to get an idear what this is.

tags on games are add by the players of the game and should not be use to judge a game since there are a lot of trolls

Players sometimes put weird tags on games, this game is not a TD game.

Thank you all for the replies.

Garfield Cart once used to have the "World War I" tag. Allowing users to add tags was the second biggest mistake of Valve after introduction of Steam points.

It is not Tower Defense, but it has unique game concept , Player versus spawning enemies

To be sure, if it is Your cup of tea, or not, check a random gameplay video on Youtube

It's not a tower defense game, although it has a few elements that make it feel like one at times. Hard to explain, but not a tower defense.
