# Core Defense 2099

> Core Defense 2099 blends classic tower defense with direct hero combat. In the year 2099, you don’t just watch the map—you fight, build, and adapt as enemies flood the grid in ever-tougher waves. Gather resources, place turrets and support structures, and upgrade your strategy while your hero slashes, shoots, and sprints across the battlefield. Face boss encounters with unique pressure patterns, juggle economy and ammunition, and push your loadout to the limit when the warning siren hits: something big is coming. Features (high level) Hybrid gameplay: move and fight as a hero and deploy automated defenses on a tactical grid. Wave-based survival: difficulty ramps over time; boss waves raise the stakes. Economy loop: ore, bullets, and placement costs feed into how aggressive you can play. Weapon and building variety: single- and multi-lane turrets, production buildings, walls, traps, and more to discover and master. Hero identity: switch between distinct hero roles to match the threat on the field. Polished 2D action: effects, audio, and UI tuned for clarity and pace. Save your run: progress with save slots so you can continue the fight later. Play your way: keyboard & mouse or gamepad—pick what feels best on Steam. Core Defense 2099 is built for players who want the planning of a tower defense with the adrenaline of an action game—one more wave, one more upgrade, until the core holds or breaks.
