Build the route. Recover your stolen cores. CENIZA combines 3D tower defense with a fully voiced six-chapter campaign, unpredictable chips and colossal robotic bosses. Shape your defenses, survive the assault and change the rules with Steam Workshop mods.

Story

The machines are coming for your cores. You decide how they get there. CENIZA is a 3D tower defense where building the route matters as much as choosing your weapons. Use the terrain, combine towers and recover stolen cores before they leave the map. A voice breaks through the intercom. Her name is NARA. She needs your help, and she seems to be the only person still out there. Until someone else recognises your signal. Fight through six chapters of 60 waves each , across battlefields that change as you play. Helicopter core transfers, retractable bridges, shifting gates and new rules force you to rethink your defenses. Radio conversations and cinematics tell the story of the machines that were supposed to protect us. Full voice acting, subtitles and interface in English and Spanish. Choose Normal for extra credits, or take on Hard. The campaign saves your progress locally so you can return to your latest checkpoint. Each platform has limited building areas, structures and narrow passages. Place blockers on eligible tiles to lengthen the route while keeping a path open. One well-placed bend can buy your towers the seconds they need. Seven tower families. Three upgrade levels...
