Sanctum is one of the most innovative tower defense games to date. The player discovers new play styles time and time again through a varied mix of first person shooting and placing towers. The cooperative mode makes the multiplayer last for a long time to boot.

I hope that future patches and expansions will fix the game, since right now Sanctum brings only headaches instead of joy.

Really just a quick game for LAN parties as there's no long-term motivation. But wait and see what the future holds: Coffee Saint Studios has announced there'll be numerous improvements to esure the game won't win the title of most beautiful indie game on the market not just for the graphics.

Sanctum — игра жанра Tower Defense с элементами шутера от первого лица, разработанная независимой компанией Coffee Stain Studios.Вы думаете, что игры жанра Tower Defense посвящены лишь строительству? Вы ошибались. Sanctum — это не просто очередная игра в стиле Tower Defense. При первых же разрушениях вы сами вступите в бой!Как один из первых в истории Tower Defense — шутеров, Sanctum взял только самое лучшее из обеих вселенных, чтобы привнести эпический, уникальный в своем роде, игровой опыт.В 2011, не спорю было не плохо, свежий взгляд на жанр, но поиграв в 2017, как то не ощутил кайфа, 3д перспектива от третьего лица, сыграло злую шутку с Sanctum, ибо в игре есть карта, и там видно что ты навоял, но там нельзя строить из режима понятного любому игроку в Tower Defense. В итоге я просто запутался в своих же лабиринтах, из-за блоков замедления, меня все время бесило что я так медленно бегу. Прокачка пушки или башки вот какой вопрос терзаем меня до сих пор, и я так и не понял что от меня требует игра, вроде в мобах есть слабые места и с пушки вполне можно отстреляться, но я пришел в Tower Defense, чтоб смотреть как моя крепость отстреливает болванчиков автоматом, а я лишь планёр. В игре нет сюжета, лишь пару тройку карт, все время на 7-8 волне сливались с челиком, думаю ~2 часа достаточно, чтоб понял твой это жанр или нет (не мой).Геймплей:

It's an innovative and enjoyable experience and one that I lost myself in as time flew by.

If you enjoy tower defense games, download the trial and give Sanctum a shot immediately - just don't expect the full package to keep you going for a while.

Like tower defense ?
If yes get this game, awesome places, a lot of fun in single player, even more better on multiplayer, even if is a bit dead there will be always someone willing to play it.

I honestly have a tough time imaging any way to improve this game. You can even skip the opening animations of the studio and technology ads (something I haven't seen since in a game pre-2000). You have the strategy a Tower-defense, with varying enemies you need to consider in your design - and the fast-passed action of an FPS.
And whatever you may think of DLCs, theirs are good and entirely al a carte - maps $1.99 and towers are $0.99 (weapons are free updates). You can even pull in players who do not have a particular map for a round or two of multiplayer - also something that I haven't seen in a while (Starcraft 1 with their "Spawn" system I believe was the last time I saw something like this).
What more do you want for $10?

Though very short, it will keep you well amused through the full game.

Loads of fun, and it's a decent buy at $14.99. While it could benefit from a wider range of weapons and environments, its engrossing and unusual gameplay makes it a safe bet for any dedicated tower defender.

Sanctum is a fun first-person take on traditional tower defense; it just lacks enough content to round it out.

Another game in the style of Tower Defence, this time from its own perspective. You must prevent your enemies from passing through by building towers and by fierce shooting, just like in any other FPS. Sanctum may entertain you for a while, and the while lasts quite long, but many types of towers and enemies are insufficient defence against intrusive stereotype. The game is lifeless and dry like Tutankhamun's mummy.

Sanctum nicely upgrades Tower Defense genre but unfortunately doesn't dig much fun out of a good idea. [Issue#204]

A wonderful game. It perfectly combines elements of FPS and tower defense. Playing tower defense games, I would love the setup, but found the "wait while the enemies march" portion a bit dull. I enjoy FPSs, but have seen anything fresh in a while. This game cherry-picks the best elements of both genres and creates something better.

Fun Game to play! A good Sci-Fi tower defense game, but DLC... never mind :/ It is a good game, but I would suggest between this and its sister sequel Sanctum 2, there is no real difference in gameplay. Just prettier graphics

A TD FPS hybrid? It doesn't sound like much. A wave defender TD game but with a controllable character with a gun? Naw. I sighed when I heard about it. But it's not a half bad game. The guns (though few) are all really fun and all have pros and cons, so you're going to want to adjust your loadout. Some monsters have weak points, so the sniper is great at exploiting them. The assault rifle picks the flyers out of the sky, and the tesla gun just shocks everything. The towers themselves are well balanced as well. Some only target flying monsters, and you might not wanna use up your space on them, but when a swarm of flyers come you're going to wish you prepared a tower or two to rip through them. Some target weak points, some just kill. Some target air and land, but don't really do anything remarkable to each. Downsides: Graphics are generally good, but I found some dated texture work, which isn't really THAT bad, but still. Too few guns, Too Few towers, Only a few strategies for each map, overall it earned a 7.

Wasn't for me. I love tower games but this was too much of a first person action for me. I also love FPS games like Mass Effect, but here you have to constantly turn, look up and down... if you get motion sickness, you'll probably play it as long as I did after I purchased it. One run, about 5 minutes, and then deleted it.

You know what? I completed this **** game in less then 3 hours. When I played Dungeon Defenders, I was only in the first two levels in the first 3 hours of that. Luckily, I bought all the dlcs and the game when it was discounted for 5 bucks, so it wasn't THAT bad. I mean, can this game at least HAVE MORE CONTENT?????
SummarySanctum is a First Person Shooter Tower Defense game where you take the role as Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her hometown, Elysion One from hordes of mysterious alien creatures.
