A hectic hybrid of top-down shooter and tower defense where you frantically switch between offense and defense to protect your system.

What players say
Players describe Artificial Defense as an orbital shooter with tower defense and RTS elements, not a traditional tower defense game. They emphasize constant manual shooting and resource management, with a ballistic aiming delay that requires prediction. Some call the tutorial misleading and the upgrade progression grindy.
