Aetherbound TD
Steam
Aetherbound TD is a run-based tower defense roguelike where every decision shapes your survival. Choose from powerful towers and upgrades while adapting to escalating enemy threats—but you're not the only one getting stronger. Enemies gain perks too... and you decide which ones they get!
With dozens of unique towers and enemy types, strategic tower placement, and limited space, every run presents a new challenge. How long can you hold out before your defenses collapse?

When enemies reach the end of the path, your tiles will go boom! Lose all of your tiles and the run comes to an end. If a tower was placed on a tile that is no longer with us, it will be recalled and cannot be placed again until a cooldown timer expires.
Can you draft the perfect defense and survive against ever-growing enemy forces, or will your towers crumble under the pressure?
