About the Game

Your desktop is your battlefield.

WARTIDE is a desktop idle defense game designed to run alongside your daily activities. Pin it to your screen, resize it to fit your workflow and watch the battle unfold while you work, browse or multitask. When action calls, jump in and take command.

You command a Forward Operating Base under siege from all directions. Deploy infantry squads, armored vehicles and air support to hold the line against escalating enemy waves. Between battles, return to your Headquarters to unlock powerful upgrades, train elite units and prepare for the next assault.

This is not your typical lane-based tower defense. Enemies attack from 360 degrees. North, south, east, west and everywhere in between. Position your turrets wisely. Deploy your troops strategically. Survive the tide.

Pin it. Play it. Let the war rage on.
