A Tower Defense hybrid where survival depends on strategy and firepower. Build turrets, mine resources, and hold the line against relentless AI swarms. Switch instantly between commanding the battlefield in RTS view or fighting on the ground in FPS combat.
Artificial Extinction 2
SteamArtificial Extinction 2 is a tower defense hybrid that blends first-person shooter action with real-time strategy control. Survive on a hostile Earth against relentless AI overlords by building powerful defenses, managing resources, and fighting on the front lines.
Play as a sentient AI commander, switching seamlessly between RTS command view to construct and upgrade your base, and FPS mode to engage enemies directly in brutal combat. Only by mastering both perspectives can you withstand the onslaught.

Your mission: defend your base until critical data decrypts, then call in your mothership for extraction. But the enemy is unrelenting — survival demands smart planning, quick thinking, and precise aim.
