Best co-op tower defense games
Tower defense gets deeper when you're working with others. These co-op tower defense games ask you to fortify positions, manage resources, and survive enemy waves as a team. Some lean into pure strategy, letting you place turrets and traps while coordinating defensive lines. Others blend action and defense, putting you on the ground with a gun in one hand and blueprints in the other. The best ones reward communication and shared planning. You might be defending a generator in a procedurally generated dungeon, escorting a fragile objective through a space station, or fortifying toy-scale bases as action figures. Whether you're digging through destructible terrain to scavenge materials, holding off Martian invaders with Cold War tech, or repelling aliens from your spaceship corridor by corridor, these games turn static defense into a cooperative challenge that demands timing, placement, and trust.

How we picked these games
This collection includes games where tower defense or wave-based defense is central to the co-op experience. That means games built around placing defenses, surviving enemy waves, managing limited resources, or fortifying positions together. Hybrid games that blend shooter mechanics or roguelite structure with tower defense qualify if defending against waves is a core loop. Pure action shooters without defensive planning or building, and games where tower defense is only a minor mode, are not included here.
