Sanctum 2

About

Sanctum 2 lets you alternate between building defenses and shooting through them. During planning phases you erect towers walls and traps to hold off waves of enemies then switch to first person to blast them apart mid-air. The single player story follows efforts to safeguard energy cores on a distant planet while online play supports up to four players sharing the gunplay and construction duties. This 2013 release mixes real time strategy with frantic shooting in a way that keeps matches dynamic. Players can tweak layouts between attacks or jump into combat anytime. With cross-platform support on PC consoles and Mac it maintains a steady multiplayer presence years after launch. The blend of preparation and chaos works especially well in co-op where communication turns the tide between victory and total annihilation.
