YOU ARE THE LAST TURRET

The enemy walks one road. You are standing on that road.

Gold drops off the enemies mid-wave, and that same gold builds your turrets. There is no build phase and no combat phase. There is one phase, and not enough time in it.

SHOOT

• Six firearms, pistol to rocket launcher, and a four-step melee ladder.

• Dash, jump, bullet time. A reload at the wrong moment costs you the base.

• 30 enemy types: shielded ones that ignore ranged fire, fliers, regenerators, brood mothers.

BUILD

• Nine turrets - gatling, mortar, tesla, cryo, flamethrower, harpoon and more.

• Upgrade on the move: walk up to one and hold the key.

• A turret placed five metres too far back is a lost wave.

SURVIVE

• 50 missions across five chapters, and nine planetary anomalies: meteor showers, EMP storms, radiation, winds that push your bullets off course.

• One upgrade card per level. Some of them change the rules, not the numbers.

• Fourteen skills - carpet bombing, EMP pulse, mines, a jump straight back to base.
