War Machine

Five ages. Fifty waves. One base that must not fall.

War Machine is a 3D tower defense that marches through history. You start with cavemen throwing stones at dinosaurs and end in a rust-coloured wasteland, facing the machine the game is named after. Every age has its own battlefield, its own towers, its own enemies and its own boss.

The five ages

• Prehistoric. Raptors, triceratops and pterodactyls charge the tribe's cave. Slingers, boulder throwers, tar totems and a bone ballista hold them off. Then the Tyrannosaurus arrives.
• Middle Ages. Footmen, cavalry, knights and battering rams march on the keep, with wyverns overhead and a dragon behind them.
• Modern Age. Infantry, trucks, tanks and biplanes cross the mud. Machine guns, howitzers, Tesla coils and anti-tank guns answer. The zeppelin comes last.
• Nuclear Age. Two roads lead to the reactor. Drones, jets and walkers use both.
• Post-Apocalypse. Mutants that heal, raiders on bikes, armoured war rigs, and at the end of wave ten, the War Machine.

How it plays

• Build on any free tile. Each age gives you four towers with different jobs: rapid fire, area damage, crowd control and a heavy hitter.
• Read the wave before it comes. The panel at the top shows what is on its way. Armoured enemies shrug off light shots, and some towers cannot hit flyers.
• Upgrade or expand. Every tower has three levels. Selling returns most of what you spent.
• Call the strike. Each age has one: a meteor, an arrow volley, an artillery barrage, a tactical nuke and an orbital ray.
• Call waves early for bonus resources, if you think you can take it.
• Earn up to three stars per age by keeping your base intact. Winning an age unlocks the next. Progress is saved in your browser.
