Defend Your Base Games
They attack in waves, and you make sure the walls hold.
Holding out wave after wave
In a base defense game you already have something to lose. The enemy arrives in waves, each a little tougher, and your job is to spend what you earn between them on better weapons, more soldiers or stronger walls. Knowing when to save money rather than spend it often decides the later waves. All of these defense games are free to play online.
Dead Zed is the zombie version, you stand behind a barricade and shoot the undead before they break through, then upgrade between days. Tiny Rifles and Stickman Army : Team Battle swap zombies for soldiers.
Some games give you more to manage. Takeover mixes base defense with real time strategy across a whole continent. Tower Defense Sudden Attack is classic tower defense, placing towers along the path the enemy walks. Heroes of Myths and Monster Hunter bring fantasy enemies instead. Takeover, Dead Zed, Tiny Rifles and Stickman Army also play on phones.
Frequently asked questions
What should I upgrade first?
Damage usually comes first, since stronger weapons end waves sooner. Once the early waves feel easy, put money into defenses that stop the enemy reaching your base.
Is base defense the same as tower defense?
Tower defense is one kind of base defense where you place towers along a path. Other games here have you shoot the attackers yourself, like Dead Zed.
Can I play on my phone?
Takeover, Dead Zed, Heroes of Myths, Tiny Rifles, Stickman Army : Team Battle and Monster Hunter all run in a mobile browser.
