Stardock brings Tower Defence into a new era with Siege of Centauri

What happens when the tower defence genre is combined with one of the most capable RTS game engines on the planet? The quick answer is Siege of Centauri, which Stardock has now created using the Nitrous Engine, which was one of the first game engines that supported both Vulkan and DirectX 12. 

With Siege of Centauri, Stardock is taking what they know from Ashes of the Singularity and Sins of a Solar Empire and have applied it to the simple tower-defence genre, creating a game which puts players against seemingly endless hordes of units while offering normal tower-defence gameplay with a few more strategic twists. 

Want to play a tower defence game that can handle tens of thousands of units at once? Siege of Centauri can do that. Beyond that, the game’s early access price tag of £7.19 makes the game an easy pick up and play option, costing less than most takeaways. Given the game’s early access nature, players can also expect this title to be updated over time with more content, with the current game offering plenty of single-player story content to get started.
