Anomaly Defenders

Tower defense game where you're the aliens defending your homeworld from human invaders. Place and upgrade eight tower types along fixed paths, but humans actively damage your structures as they advance, forcing constant repairs and repositioning. Each campaign starts with a tech-tree you customize before deployment—unlock passive bonuses, tower variants, or active abilities like forcing a tower into berserk mode or detonating it for area damage. Matches move quickly since you're reacting to human attacks that can cripple your setup mid-wave. The role reversal from earlier series entries means you're rooting for the Hive, not humanity. Suits players who want traditional tower defense with more micro-management than usual.
