Deterrence

Pisces Studios | Tower Defense | Coming Mar 2024

Artificial intelligence has plotted a path to a sustainable future, but humans aren't included. Defend humanity against the A.I. in this instant action real-time strategy, tower defense hybrid.

Campaign

Deterrence is a tower defense, real-time strategy hybrid that offers a midcore single-player experience. Play as the human race in the not-too-distant future and fight malfunctioning artificial intelligence in the nonlinear campaign where the player chooses their own conflicts and is complete with mission rewards and with a research tree.

Each level will put your tactical skills to the test as you will have to play an active role in helping your troops withstand the enemy onslaught whether that be repairing defenses, reallocating troops to another front, designating artillery strike zones, or destroying bridges.

Command your troops to victory by taking advantage of everything the battlefield has to offer. Garrison troops in civilian structures for quick defense. Build artillery batteries to pound enemy advances. Jam the enemy signals to gain an advantage. Call in air strikes, artillery strikes, and warheads to turn the tide of battle.

A big thanks to everyone who have submitted bug reports to make Deterrence a bug free game. Since the last update, these bugs have been fixed:

Preplaced defenses will free up their space when destroyed allowing the player to build on that tile.
Top-right user interface buttons (game speed, start wave, toggle paths) no longer deselect units.
Improved performance by cleaning up particle effects that have finished.
