Super Sanctum TD released on Steam, free with pre-purchase of Sanctum 2

Without any forewarning, Coffee Stain Studios has announced that Super Sanctum TD, a 2D retro take on the Tower Defense genre, is now available via Steam for $3.99/£2.99. The game is completely free for everyone that pre-purchases Sanctum 2, which is set to launch for Windows PC on May 15th.

“We’ve been secretly developing Super Sanctum TD for quite a while now. We never had a set release date for it since we always thought we’d release it when it’s done. Coincidentally, we felt somewhat done with the game roughly when the pre-orders for Sanctum 2 started, so we figured why not?” - Says Armin Ibrisagic, PR Manager of Coffee Stain Studios.

The objective in Super Sanctum TD is to build advanced mazes and towers to protect the Core from hordes of aliens. Contrary to many other Tower Defense titles, it also includes an active skill system that lets you intercept your enemies manually by using skills like Freeze and Air Strike to tilt the battlefield to your advantage. Other features such as the in-game perk system and vast customization options sets it apart as a more premium title compared to other games from the same genre.
