About Tower Under Attack: Aerial Defense Shooter with Roguelite Upgrades
Tower Under Attack puts you in the gunner's seat of an AC-130-style gunship circling a lone island lighthouse. The aircraft handles its own flight path, leaving you to focus entirely on the battlefield below: scanning for threats, managing weapon heat, and keeping the beacon standing against relentless undead waves. Weather shifts and visibility changes keep each run feeling distinct, and when the island is on the verge of falling, Fury Time becomes your last resort.
Between waves, a roguelite upgrade system lets you reinforce your firepower, sharpen your sensors, repair the lighthouse, or call in support units — building a loadout that evolves as the assault escalates.
How to Play Tower Under Attack: Survive Escalating Zombie Waves
The lighthouse is your objective and your timer. Zombie waves grow in intensity, so prioritizing the most dangerous enemies on each pass is essential. Weapon heat is a real constraint — switching between cannons, missiles, sensor modes, and tactical strikes keeps any single weapon from overheating while maintaining pressure on the horde. FLIR and TV sensor modes help you read the battlefield under changing weather and low-visibility conditions. When the island is about to fall, activating Fury Time can turn the tide.
