Game news Independent games for the week of September 20 (PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC)

Siege the Day

We start the week of September 20 with the tower-defense of Hidden Tower Studios. At first, like Rampart released on MegaDrive and Super Nintendo, Siege the Day offers players the opportunity to build their own castle, then build fortifications and set up defenses (catapults, cannons, etc.). The goal? Face a sizable opponent controlled by either the computer or another human player. Note that in this second phase of the game, the player directly takes part in these battles which take place in real time. Indeed, he can manage his troops by telling them where and how to attack.
