Tau Cubis is a 3D Sci-Fi Tower Defense game, taking inspiration from the classic 'Defense Grid' with extra features (collaborative Towers, advanced targeting system, truly autonomous enemies).
Tau Cubis offers different Map types and you will need to adapt your strategy.
Some maps will rather test your skills in "Mazing Tower Defense", while others will require you to manage your resources well and find the most effective combinations of Towers.

Notes from me :)
Please, keep in mind, Tau Cubis is a solo game development, is not story driven and does not feature cinematic.
The more challenges you complete, the more Towers, Enemies and Maps you unlock.
Tau Cubis is inspired by other games and especially the amazing franchise : Defense Grid.
I'd like to offer you a minimalist strategic Tower Defense game with colorful graphics and smart mechanics :)
Full Controller, Mouse and Keyboard (WASD control or classic ) : your choice !
Quick to learn, easy to play for intense 20 minute session.
Online leaderboards, but you still can play offline and upload your scores later.
Don't hesitate for any questions or feedback at taucubis@cubemandarine.com or in Steam Discussion section !
