X-Morph: Defense is just under a month away from blasting onto the Switch's digital scene, and its premise and gameplay certainly look intriguing.
Blending top-down shooter gameplay with classic tower defence, this one has players taking control of an alien race, unleashing hell upon humans and conquering the Earth for a change. You'll need to steal resources, build mazes for incoming enemies, tear down buildings, and collapse bridges to support your defence, all while utilising a range of alien weapons and defence strategies.
If you like the sound of this one so far, check out the game's official blurb:
An unidentified object crashes into the surface of Earth, in South Africa. Rapid response units are immediately sent to the scene to investigate. This might be the first contact with an alien life form, after all. Upon arrival, all the human vehicles are obliterated by the aliens. Their base expands, covering the Earth with a strange, metallic substance. Your consciousness is transferred to the very core that has just landed on Earth. The mission – harness all the energy on the planet. Protect the core. Destroy all opposition.

not a bad game i got it for $5 which is a fair price I wouldnt pay $20 for it tho
"All Star Voice Cast---" who, who, who, and who?
Looks good! I love tower defense, Kingdom Rush is one of my favorite.
This looks pretty epic
Well I thought I was going to get Defense Grid 2 but I probably don't really want to buy two TD games in the same month.
Looks like I'll be waiting on the reviews...
Won't let me watch that video as it is. Just from the comments I might need to see this running first.
huh...I might have to get this.
Gives me very mild Herzog Zwei vibes. I might have to look into it.
The graphics and gameplay look awesome. I just don't like playing as the "bad guy" destroying Earth.
@Spoony_Tech click on the link that takes you directly to YouTube there genius
@Grant007 Gee thanks for the awesome advise. My point was I shouldn't have to.....
@Spoony_Tech did you read the error why you can't play the video within this article?
@Grant007 I sure did so find another video that works within the website properly.
I got this game on the PS4 when it went on sale and it is fantastic, combines shoot-em-ups with tower defense in great way.
@Grant007
Very helpful response. Looks like from your other responses to people, you're a real winner. Find something better to do with your time or at least just go play your games by yourself.
Here I thought I was done with top down twin stick shooters, but they PULL ME BACK IN...!!!!!
No but seriously, this looks surprisingly more entertaining the the still image made it seem.
