Hidden Path Entertainment's tower defense Defense Grid: The Awakening is currently on special offer on Steam, massively reduced from $20 to a mere $5 until May 15.

Build and upgrade towers to fend of waves of robots over 20 lush levels, with Steamworks achievements and some quite marvellous explosions--it's a steal at $5.

Good game, well done, no MP, gets old fast once you figure each level out.

Outstanding history/argument IMO (!) too, even if it never reaches any kind of closure.

Hmm while this does look entertaining, I'm a bit dissapointed you dont actually get to design the route they walk using the actual towers, similiar to Tower D like Blixels in WC3. I always liked to create mazes for them to walk and get blasted by towers and find which ones worked the best.

Wow, I love me some tower D. Ever since I was first introduced to it in WC3 via the custom game list.

What are the system requirements?
