01 / Mission brief
About AOD - Art Of Defense
AOD - Art Of Defense is a free online tower defense game from Sateda Game, set in a post-apocalyptic world. You lead the A.O.D. team against Mr. Evil's forces as they search for the lost Project Inola. Your job is to protect the base by building a defense that can stop the attack. Tanks form part of that defensive arsenal alongside machine guns, rockets, and other weapons, so the challenge is planning what to deploy and where to place it. The browser version starts from this page without installing a separate game client.
The isometric view gives you a commanding look at roads, buildings, and defensive positions. Tank defenses, miniguns, and anti-aircraft weapons provide different options as you expand your setup. Tower modification cards and upgrades support longer-term development, while unlockable heroes can be improved and deployed to help during battles. Enemy bosses and powerful support attacks, including barrages and satellite strikes, add decisions beyond the first line of towers. Read the available choices before committing to the next upgrade or placement.
The campaign ranges from small towns to large cities, and the developer also lists Escape, Fog, and Survival modes. On a desktop PC or laptop, mouse clicks place towers and the scroll wheel changes the zoom. Supported phones and tablets use touch input with a two-finger pinch to zoom in or out. That makes the game a good match for players who enjoy building a defensive plan, watching it perform, and changing the setup for the next challenge.
