Half the reviews in SteamSpy's sample of 64 Tower defense games sit with 4 of them.

Based on the 64 Tower defense games SteamSpy listed on November 15, 2026. It misses the games that barely sold, so these figures flatter the genre. Games are grouped by the tags players give them, which are applied loosely, so a genre's edges are fuzzy. Copies are SteamSpy estimates from review counts, not exact sales.
