What is Base Defense?
Base Defense is a strategy tower defense title developed by Beedo Games in 2020. The core loop revolves around positioning stationary weapon emplacements to stop advancing hostile marches from breaching your command outpost. Defeated attackers drop scrap metal and gold currency, which you immediately reinvest into strengthening your fortifications. The game runs directly in any modern desktop or mobile browser with zero installation.

Turret arsenal and resource economy
Holding the perimeter requires balancing your defensive layout with smart resource reinvestment. As hostile forces fall along the roadway, they release valuable metal scraps and gold coins. Collecting these spoils provides the funds needed to reinforce your defensive network.
| Hardware unit | Combat tactical role |
|---|---|
| Gunners | Direct fire units positioned to intercept frontline hostiles |
| Sentries | Automated defensive posts that maintain steady pressure along the approach |
| Triple shooters | High-output artillery designed to deal with clustered enemy groups |
| Throwing axes | Specialized offensive gear delivering heavy strikes to break tough targets |
Tips and strategy
- Secure early corners: Construct your primary defenses around road bends where incoming targets remain inside your weapon range for maximum duration.
- Upgrade before overbuilding: Leveling up existing gunners often provides greater stopping power than cluttering the ground with low-tier installations.
- Diversify firing profiles: Pair rapid single-target sentries with wide-angle triple shooters to keep single runners and packs from breaking through.
- Gather salvage without delay: Retrieve all metal scraps and coins as soon as enemies fall so you have immediate spending power.
- Establish defensive depth: Arrange backup posts further down the path toward headquarters to catch any fast hostiles that slip past front emplacements.
