so Holla Forums, there are really not that many open-path tower defense games out there I ask you for help in finding video games out there of this particular sub-subgenre
what is an open path tower defense game, as opposed to a regular tower defense game? an open path tower defense game is one in which you are typically given a level that looks like first pic related; the game used as an example is Bubble Tanks Tower Defense 1.5
but then, the game lets you place towers anywhere on the map where there isn't a blue square; you can even force enemies to go around your towers in a sort of maze-like path, as shown in second pic related
I only know of one example of an open-path TD game, pics related, and its sort-of-prequel and its sequel, but I want to play other open-path TD games: I'll describe Bubble Tanks Tower Defense 1.5 in the next post, since theres so few open-path tower defense games that I know about
Any RTS game with custom scenarios and basebuilding invariably has TD-style maps, and among those, you get open TDs where you make your own paths with your towers.

Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 are the obvious examples, but I hear-tell that Dota 2 has a custom map scene, albeit much smaller.
Owen Evans
JUST
Jacob Cox
Sanctum 2 is kinda like that, and pretty good
Jaxson Butler
They're probably less common because they require the programming of at least rudimentary path finding stuff as compared to static path TD games.
Christopher Rodriguez
I don't like notion of it also being an FPS game
Carter King
ill give this just one self-bump i might check out WCIII
Hunter Moore
Tropical Tower Wars is a PvP TD Warcraft 3 map in which the players on each side have to create tower mazes while sending off waves to the opposing team. It is the best TD game.
David Richardson
desktop TD is my favorite in this specific sub genre.
Brandon Anderson
Plants vs Zombies gave you some ways to redirect enemies into other lanes, but I suppose that's not true freedom.
Benjamin Rogers
...
Henry Torres
I looked it up; is pro or 1.5 the more updated version?
Gemcraft series after Labyrinth included have this feature. (So basically Labyrinth and Chasing Shadows, but future games will probably have this too). It's basically the best Tower Defense series by a quite big margin so you should play them if you haven't already.
Jordan Sanders
Sanctum 1 and 2?
Jason Murphy
it seems that you're not able to sell towers in that game I'd just want to start the level all over again if I misplace a tower
Blake Young
You can
Mason Myers
Having just played Labyrinth, I can say it was damn good.
Oliver Thompson
maze td in wc3 was best ele td in wc3 was also good also geo tower defense on iphone was great
Robert Taylor
hm, don't think that was there in the tutorial level maybe ill give it another chance
Joseph Lee
I tried that one out, I like bubble tanks TD 1.5 much better the latter game has a much better UI, a cleaner artstyle, better sounds, more towers to choose from, and the game punishes you less if you misplace a tower, and the enemies are better
perhaps I'll try gemcraft: labyrinth later I'd known for a long time about gemcraft, but it was today that I'd learned that they actually made open path games hopefully it doesn't have something like temporary tower boosts, recruiting units that aren't buildings or however, or manually using non-tower attacks, or towers that have non-passive abilities
Ayden Sanchez
Here, faggot.
Levi Phillips
i didn't say I didn't know how to find it I just said I'd try it later
Noah Walker
I remember Sunken D on Starcraft, as well as a couple other variants following this formula. The problem is, I remember most of these being very specifically designed for multiplayer, being near impossible to comfortably play in single player, (except maybe, the Individual variants)
Jaxson Foster
tower defense is, and will always be, SST maps for babbies.
Justin Rivera
If you have an Xbox 360, there's South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play. It starts off as a tower defense with premade paths, but by level 3 or so, you unlock the ability to build walls and create your own path. Of course, that means giving money to (((the creators))) because you can't buy it preowned, so that's a choice you'll have to make.
William Flores
i remember being near impossible but if you manage to tough it out the first couple waves then you're swimming in enough dosh to solo the rest
Jace Cox
Gem TD is a bit of a classic. It has a waypoint system for creeps to follow, so you're trying to maze in a way that makes reaching each waypoint as difficult as possible.
