Steam users have until May 1st to get $173 worth of games for just $13

Steam users can take advantage of one of the newest Humble Bundles to grab 9 Tower Defense games valued up to $173, and the Bundle includes some of the best games in the Tower Defense genre, unique hybrids, and more. And yes, while tower defense games are everywhere, it is by design. They are simple yet popular games.

Humble Bundle's Tower Defense 2 bundle includes 9 Steam keys, a voucher and support for a good cause: Active Minds. This package expires on May 1st. Of course, this is a “Pay What You Want” package, meaning users can pony up an absolute minimum of $13, while those who are well off can contribute more to raise money for charity (Active Minds). It is also possible to cut this bundle down from a total of 10 items (games and coupons) to 5 and pay a minimum of $7.

Active Minds is the country's leading non-profit organization that promotes mental health for young adults aged 14-24.

Overall, it's clear that this bundle is packed with value and has some unique Tower Defense gameplay to offer. I can imagine the kind of general image that goes through some players' minds when I say “tower defense”, but the first two games go against that image. Throne fall is a minimalist strategy game where players build and manage their kingdom during the day, and then defend it (tower defense) at night. Affogato is a slice-of-life RPG that features a “reverse tower defense” mechanic. And so this is filled with the hallmarks of the genre: Orcs Must Die, Kingdom Rush. Plus, Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance is a great tower defense game, and the coupon is just a little extra on top of this package.

If someone would like to cut the package down to 5 items and $7, they will keep the following: Border Pioneer, Kingdom Rush Origins – Tower Defense, Legion TD 2 – Multiplayer Tower Defense, Tower Escapeand Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance TD coupon. That means they lose Thronefall, Affogato, Axon TD: Uprising- Tower Defense, Orcs Must Die 3: Completeand Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Anyway, check out the bundle for yourself at the button below (or the available individual games in the list below).

Tower Defense 2 Humble Bundle Deal

Throne fall

Throne fall is a simple yet addictive strategy and tower defense game where you build your kingdom during the day and defend it at night. You place structures, manage resources and set up defenses before waves of enemies attack. It's easy to pick up but still has enough strategy to keep things interesting, making it a great choice for fans of indie strategy and base-building games.

Affogato

Affogato mixes RPG, deck building, and tower defense ideas into one game, all wrapped up in an anime-style presentation. You play as a witch who runs a cafe while fighting enemies with card-based mechanics. Between managing your shop and progressing through the story content, there's a good balance between life sim and strategy game here.

Axon TD: Uprising – Tower Defense

Axon TD: Rebellion stands out by letting you shape the battlefield instead of just placing towers. You can build out paths and expand the map while setting up defenses to stop the enemy waves. With roguelite elements, co-op play and tons of upgrades, it offers more depth than your typical sci-fi tower defense game.

Orcs must die! 3 Complete

Orcs must die! 3 is a mix of third-person action and tower defense game, where you fight huge waves of orcs using weapons and traps. You can play solo or co-op, and the larger “War Scenarios” in Orcs must die! 3 really up the scale with massive battles. It's fast, chaotic, and leans more towards action than most tower defense games.

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened combines tower defense with action RPG gameplay, allowing you to build defenses and fight enemies instantly. You choose a hero, equip yourself and defend objectives either alone or with others. The mix of loot, progression and co-op makes it feel like a mix of strategy and dungeon crawler gameplay.

Frontier pioneer

Frontier pioneer is a pixel-art game where you build and defend a growing settlement on the frontier. You collect resources, expand your city and set up defenses to survive enemy attacks. And with roguelite elements and random challenges, every run feels a little different.

Kingdom Rush Origins – Tower Defense

Kingdom Rush Origins is a classic fantasy tower defense game with a focus on lane-based strategy, where you place towers, use heroes and upgrade abilities to stop waves of enemies. It is a prequel to the series and retains the same polished gameplay and style that did Kingdom Rush Popular.

Legion TD 2 – Multiplayer Tower Defense

Legion TD 2 is a multiplayer focused tower defense game where you defend your side while sending units to attack other players. It mixes strategy, teamwork and resource management, especially in competitive matches. If you liked classic custom map TD games, this feels like a modern version of it.

Tower Escape

Tower Escape reverses the usual formula by focusing on controlling enemy lanes instead of just defending against them. You guide movement and set up the map in a more puzzle-like way, making it a different take on tower defense that leans more towards strategy and planning.

Kingdom Rush 5 Alliance TD (VIA COUPON)

Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD builds on the series with new heroes, factions and ways to combine abilities. You'll still place towers and stop waves, but there's more focus on how different units work together. It keeps the same style but adds some new layers to the strategy.
