This is yet another interesting blend of genres. It is a tower defense game in which you control everything in the first person and are actually involved in the fight FPS-style. This game is not perfectly executed and from what I've seen as tower defense typically go it lacks a story almost entirely. Still it's pretty fun and doesn't cost much.

Fun game for a couple of hours fun. The first person addition to the classic tower defense game made it feel unique, but without any enemies fighting back felt kind of bland. Also, being able to set towers from overview mode would have been a huge improvement.

If you liked Orcs Must Die and you prefer tower defence games with action twist to them, then you won't regret buying Sanctum. It is set in completely different theme then Orcs Must Die, but both games share many similarities - mixing tower defence elements with intense shooter.

The game also features wonderful graphics, and offers many levels, so you won't get bored easily.

This is a game most certainly worth purchasing. I got this game as a bonus for pre-ordering bioshock infinite (blue coins) and I've spent more time playing this, than infinite. A must buy purchase for sure!

A refreshing take on the Tower Defence genre, very few games allow you to join the action like sanctum does, and it is a welcomed change to the genre. There are a few bugs and glitches allong the way, and the shooting mechanic does not feel as satisfying and varied as many other shooters out there. But all in all a great game, and I would reccomend picking it up.

A nice little tower defense game, indie hit Sanctum is easily one of THE indie games self-called gamers need to play. If you're a new gamer or a hardcore fan of mankind's favourite pasttime, Sanctum should be on the list of titles you should check out.

I try game when was free weekend on steam and must say game has something in. Now i have full game and I complete it. I found info that Sanctum 2 is development. Sanctum will be good start to see what's you can expect in sequel.

It's amazing how tower defense games evolving into a lot of different form. Sanctum is one of the more successful one. Here you build you defense system, and also fight within it. The futuristic feeling is just right for this game. One of the must try if you like tower defense.

Being someone that likes tower defense games and fps games, a had a lot of fun playing it. Over the time they added more maps, guns and traps and overall is a nice experience.

Both single player and coop were interesting to play.

Sanctum game is fun to create and choose props defenses against waves of enemies on every level, also offers multiplayer battles and details of new equipment, I highly recommend it.

This first person tower defense game is quite good for what it is. The game really shines in co-op though, where you and a bunch of friends build mazes and weapon defenses to shoot down the incoming aliens. Pretty good visuals from the Unreal 3 engine too.

If you want to try a different viewpoint for a tower defense game, check Sanctum out.

Hi guys! I'm new to this type of game: Tower Defence. I find this game very exciting, strategic and addictive. It's really easy to get use to it. There is a tutorial for first time players wich helped me a lot. I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to try a different of game.

I've had a lot of fun with this game. Multiplayer is a lot of fun, and I like the idea/concept of the game itself. I like that you get to build towers, maze the enemies (sometimes you can't do this that much) upgrade them and your weapons, and shoot at the enemies as well. You can follow along and really make sure they don't get too far, and see where weak points may be, etc.

Very enjoyable game for when you and your mates are bored, The cross between FPS and tower defense is done well but could use improvements when you are setting you your towers but over all it works well.

For an indie game I give this a 7/10 and would recommend this to anyone wanting a bit of a change of style now and again.

Built on the Unreal engine, this game is amazingly stunning and pretty to look at, and the gameplay isn't too shabby either!

Its a perfect blend of Tower Defence and FPS gameplay.

It has a CO-OP mode although I haven't played that yet.

10/10

Great game concept for a very modest price. Tower defense coupled with a slight FPS gaming style brings a truly innovative approach to the tower defense genre. With the "collection" bundle proposed on gamergate the few cons the game had have been erased, now you have several maps to play with and several weapons. Games pace is slow at time, but you will always be very busy upgrading the defense of your fort.

I highly recommed giving this game try.

Tower Defence genre will never get old. Sanctum allows you and your friends to enter in a tower defense game and shoot the enemies in first person view. You build a maze for the horde of enemies, place towers, upgrade them and shoot them with your own handheld weapons. It's pure fun!

Incredibly replayable and engrossing indie tower defence shooter. There's lots of content and it's constantly being updated with more free stuff and DLC to get. It's really designed with multiplayer in mind so I would say best to ignore it if you're after a more solo experience. If you enjoy coop games you really should love this it's tower defence at it's best.

I'll be honest - I wasn't expecting much from this. I'm not a tower-defense lover, only really enjoying Defense Grid and Orcs Must Die!, and while Sanctum doesn't quite surpass either of these classics, it does do something completely unexpected - first-person tower defense CO-OP!

In co-op mode, working out strategies with your buddies is great fun, and the stats after each map make for interesting reading!

If you won't be playing co-op, though, this isn't nearly as good. For a few bucks you could do a lot worse, as it's perfectly acceptable in single-player, but co-op really is this game's stand-out feature.

I personally love this game. It is a very entertaining game both in the single player as well as the multiplayer; however I do enjoy the multiplayer with a friend that you can talk to more. For $10 it is definitely worth it but I do have to question the replayability of the game as it can get repetitive placing the same towers and fighting the same monsters and for that I had to take off one star. If you don't mind playing the game through the single player and then leaving it on the side for a rainy day or to play with a friend, then I would absolutely recommend you try out this game or at least another game with the same style of TD and FPS combination.

It's a fun little first person/tower defence hybrid with some interesting mechanics and co-op play. The tower defence part is as you would expect, with a nice variety of turrets to employ (which are of course upgradeable). Where it gets interesting is in how it interacts with the first person mode - you carry several weapons yourself you can use to kill the creeps during the game, which can also be upgraded. So there's a nice tradeoff between focusing on towers with you perhaps zapping the odd one now and again, or focusing on yourself with the towers basically playing mop-up.

This game is very good if you like tower defence, or games with some strategy involved.

I still prefer other FPS-TDs, like Iron Grip Warlord, because Sanctum seems to need more balance between the towers and the enemies: some of the bad guys are too strong and some are immune ot towers attacks, forcing you to use your rifle.

Then because imho this game is so colorful that the graphics seem weird, and it has less maps (4 at the moment).

I would also like to stress that if you buy this game you will have to download the Steam platform, if you don't already have it.

On the bright side, what I like is that

-it uses a good engine, Unreal 3;

-it is continuously updated and improved;

- the developers talk to the users in the Steam forum;

- it has the potential to be the best FPS-TD game ever.
