About Nexus Swarm Tower Defense TD
One tower. Endless swarm. Every direction. Hold the Nexus as the swarm closes in from all 360°, draft a new build every run, and find out how far you can go. Nexus Swarm is a roguelike tower defense game where you don't place towers. You are the tower. Spend scrap mid-fight to upgrade the Nexus: damage, attack speed, multishot, crit, range, HP, regen, Frost Nova and Shockwave. Then hold on. A NEW BUILD EVERY RUN • Every 3 waves, draft 1 of 3 augments • 26 run-only powers across 7 families: Fire, Frost, Shock, Pierce, Crit, Guard and Econ • Take 3 from one family to unlock its set bonus BOSSES THAT SHAKE THE SKY • A boss every 10 waves (every 7 in Sector 4) • Each boss arrives with a warning banner and a boss bar • A named boss in every sector 5 DEEP-SPACE SECTORS • Teal galaxy, violet gas giant, ember red dwarf, aurora and black hole • Endless waves that keep getting harder. How far can you go?
