News: If you enjoy RTS defense games then you might want to check out the new idea that is presented with this new title.

IDUN - Frontline Survival, the intense RTS defense game from the former chief visual effects director of the Battlefield series, arrives on PC today via Steam, developed by IDUN Interactive and published by Surefire Games.

Engage in a chaotic combination of RTS action and tactical tower defense to wipe out relentless alien swarms overwhelming the screen. Command a varied arsenal of combat tools in real-time, from repositionable drag-and-drop turrets to point-and-shoot orbital cannons, leveraging their strengths to overcome challenging scenarios.

Explore several diverse modes and complete missions, including defending the collection base, escorting nuclear vehicles, and protecting mining carts. Execute a strategic plan of defense by deploying destructive tanks, blade-spinning fans, flesh-melting turrets, and sturdy barriers to block vicious waves of extraterrestrial vermin.

Extract vital resources across multiple dynamic maps to unlock critical upgrades in the main campaign. Strengthen defenses through the advanced tech tree, enhancing turrets and troops for tougher battles, then enhance the home base to gain access to new units and tactics, increasing tactical options and creating new combinations for each battle.

“IDUN - Frontline Survival blends classic RTS elements with strategic tower defense gameplay to provide a fresh experience for both novice and battle-hardened commanders,” said Gustav Hagerling, former Battlefield series chief VFX director and founder of IDUN Interactive. “Join the force and get ready to confront loads of foes today!”

"One of the elements our early testers have really enjoyed about IDUN is the ability to control and move units dynamically, rather than just placing static towers and letting them run automatically,” said Henry Zeng, Director, Surefire.Games. “We wanted to create a more hands-on experience that combines the best of tower defense and RTS elements, giving players more agency and strategic control over their defenses. We know this approach might not feel like a traditional tower defense game for everyone, but we hope its unique twist resonates with players looking for something fresh."

IDUN - Frontline Survival is now available on PC via Steam for $14.99, with full English voice-over, and Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese language text localization.
