D.O.T. Defence is “a love letter to RTS classics”, developed by Rattleaxe Games and published by Gamersky Games on Steam in April 2025. Now, thanks to feedback from players during its early access phase, D.O.T. Defence is now launching as a full game on June 11th, 2026, priced at $14.99. The developer has described the game as a “minimalist RTS/Tower Defense hybrid” and said that it “blends accessibility with tactical depth”.
Key features in D.O.T. Defence:
Turret Mayhem: Defend your regions—the beating heart of your economy—against relentless hordes trying to seize your resources. Mix, match, and sell a variety of turrets based on incoming threats.
Commander Fantasy (Macro Orders): Take command with broad-stroke macro controls. Utilise commander powers to evolve the battlefield, draw paths for your armies or let them autonomously capture crucial map points while you focus on the big picture.
Diverse Game Modes: Go toe-to-toe with smart AI in classic Skirmish, hold the line in Wave Defence, or brave the roguelike Endless War mode featuring procedurally generated waves and unique modifiers. For the ultimate test of survival, jump into Escalation—a tournament mode where you draft continuous upgrades for your turrets and passives between rounds, squaring off against a stacking deck of random modifiers for a completely unpredictable experience.
Single Player Campaign: Experience a high-stakes military epic told across 25 missions, spanning 8+ hours of tactical gameplay. The story plunges you into the heart of the Chroma Wars.
Local Multiplayer Mayhem: Gather friends for intense 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all couch co-op battles with full gamepad support.
