Monday Night Combat

Playing together in co-op

A third-person shooter staged as an over-the-top futuristic game show, where you pick a class, fend off waves of robots and place turrets. The blend of tower defense and arena multiplayer plus satirical humor sets it apart.

Building and crafting

Iron Grip: Warlord blends tower defense with first-person shooting: you build defenses and fight on the front line against waves of invaders, solo or in co-op.

Raw Data

Playing together in co-op

A VR-native wave shooter where you fend off hordes of androids with guns, swords and placed defenses, ideally in co-op. Physical whole-body combat and wave defense are the focus.

Nuclear Dawn

Building and crafting

A multiplayer hybrid of first-person shooter and real-time strategy on the Source engine: one player per team commands base building and strategy while the rest fight as soldiers.

Starhawk

Building and crafting

A space-western third-person shooter that mixes gunplay with real-time base building: players call in turrets, vehicles and structures mid-battle. Transforming fighter craft and jetpacks add variety, and the focus is on online multiplayer, alongside a short campaign about gunslinger Emmett Graves.

X-Morph: Defense

Tactical depth

X-Morph: Defense blends a top-down shooter with tower defense: you play the alien invader, placing towers while also fighting directly with your own ship against Earth's defenders.

Helldivers

Playing together in co-op

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.
