Much better than the first one. I haven't really followed this sub-genre (FPS & tower defense combo) so I don't know how it stands up to what the best is, or what that would even be.

Read moreBeing an FPS/tower defense hybrid, I had this game on my Steam as a curiosity. I've played through the first area with 4 stages, both single and online co-op but it doesn't click with me. While it's easy to get into the basics and the tower arsenal is widely varied, the latter makes for some learning curve for matches that have time pressure. Even the combat doesn't feel particularly impactful, making me work until the climax comes up and then the wave is over quite early (except for boss waves). There isn't much to the story, either, so I checked off Sanctum 2 early on. Fans of both genres should only test before they keep it.
