Anything like DG:Awakening put out more recently?
I've been thinking of replaying these titles and it got me thinking if there's anything new out there in this style? Sci-Fi, allows molding paths with towers, etc?

I've played through various Kingdom Rushes and the Dungeon Warfare games, and while I found them fun, they didn't hold a candle to DG.

These are better than most but not better than DG1.

Terrohedron is a 3D TD game. Fun

Tower Wars can be PVP or against 10 scaling AI. Has small campaign. MP is dead tho but the SP portion was good.

Sol Survivor is free placement of towers - has several commanders that give different bonus/towers.

Sang Froid -tales of werewolves is slight variation of the TD genre.

Last Hope is decent and has a story.

Harvest Massive Encounter is pretty good as you can chain towers together to make super towers.

The Gemcraft series is pretty good and really makes you think in the challenges.

Dwarves!? has a TD mode that is really good. You build your own path by digging it out. The other modes I didnt care to much for.

Dungeon Defenders is really good with a friend. Later levels are tough playing solo but doable.

Mentions - DeathTrap and Core Defense

Particle Fleet, and the Creeper World games are also really good.

Axon TD: Uprising is out now in early access. Heavy emphasis on mazing. I really like it.

Wow! appreciate all the input guys. I'm definitely looking into the above mentioned games.

I've played some Bloons TD6 and Kingdom Rush and they were pretty fun for a while.
Love tower defense, but an immersive story component makes it gold. So i will add my favorites based on this criteria.

It's already on the list above, but I've been a fan of GemCraft series since the very first one i played at Armor Games. Great story, awesome game play, tons of maps with a side of dark fantasy horror; each game has a bit of a surprise or a twist. (If this interests you, play Chasing Shadows first)

Unfortunately, don't know of any newer games, but here are some oldies but goodies, imo.

Defenders Quest is on steam

The rest of these may or may not be on steam

Ghost Hacker
Ghost Hacker 2 - Both have Tron like fun stories with unique approach to tower upgrades. I love both of them. 2nd one is better

Cursed Treasure 2 - Played this on iphone

I also enjoyed Anomaly 2, but this one is a reverse tower defense.

Because the way DG2 turned out is why there is no DG3 :krskull:

I do prefer the first, I still cannot get me head around the scoring system of the 2nd, as I try things that should improve my score and it does not, should have left it like the first.

Still I find it fun to play though :)

I like DG2 yes a 3 would of been good guess you can download workshop maps.

No Creeps Were Harmed TD. Unusual fully 3D maps and good range of towers. Another early access title that I've been putting a lot of time into lately.

I just discovered Art Of Defense / AOD, it's an excellent tower defense as good as DG, I got literally hooked and it's... free!
