One of the world’s first first-person shooter - tower defense games, “Sanctum has taken the best of both worlds to deliver an epic, one-of-a-kind experience.” Mac gamers can now download the game at a 10% discount on Steam.

Developed by independent company Coffee Stain Studios, Sanctum offers 4-player co-op play, five “physically-improbable” weapons, four challenging fame modes, the ability to build mazes (not just towers), a deep customization system, 87 achievements, hidden secrets and Easter eggs, all powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 3.

In the game, you take on the role of Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her home town from aliens. The player is tasked with having to defend a "core" on each level by building defensive structures, and assisting their structures by fending off the enemies.
