What is Sanctum?

Sanctum is a first-person shooter tower defense made by Coffee Stain Studios where you take the role as Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her home town, Elysion One, from hordes of mysterious alien creatures.

To succeed you have to construct and upgrade defensive structures. What makes Sanctum unique from other tower defenses is that when the havoc starts, you jump right into the action with your own weapons and play a key role in the defense. Sanctum has taken the best features from first-person shooters and tower defense games to create something totally unique.
