Setting the bar as the definitive tower defense game, Defense Grid 2 introduces new worlds and threats to test your tower placement strategies. With a bold new look, a compelling single-player campaign, and the addition of new game modes, online player-versus-player and multiplayer co-op, every play-through brings fun new opportunities and challenges.
DG2 comes with a story campaign featuring 21 stunning maps, dynamic level movement, an expanded story and cast of characters, hundreds of challenge mode experiences, new multiplayer modes, a procedurally driven audio score and the ability for players to build their own levels. DG2 also introduces players to DG Architect on the PC, a level creation tool set connected to Steam Workshop where players can create their own unique levels to share and possibly even sell if selected.
DG2 for the PC was funded in part by Dracogen, a private investor after a 2012 Kickstarter campaign funded the original game's DLC, Defense Grid: Containment. DG2 is developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and published by 505 Games.
Defense Grid 2 is one of the tower defense genre's classic entries, and now it's getting a virtual reality makeover. Defense Grid 2: Enhanced VR Edition has been announced for the Oculus Rift. According to developer Hidden Path Entertainment:
"New intuitive user controls and displays designed from the ground up for VR make game actions faster, easier, and highly accessible. Players have a physical sense of the action around them. You can lean in and look all around your base in the VR edition and even view the action up close near the aliens and towers."
The ability to lean in and see things up close has allowed Hidden Path to add a number of secrets and easter eggs for those willing to go searching for them. Additionally, the game includes the first story expansion, featuring five new levels.
The full feature list is as follows:
Defense Grid 2: Enhanced VR Edition is being published by Oculus Studios, and will be available for the Oculus Rift when it launches on March 28.
