There's not a complicated strategy experience or shooter on display but what's here it is a very, very fun. This isn't to say that X-Morph is a very deep experience. The shooting alleviates the potential boredom and patience of a tower defense scenario, while the strategic placement of towers makes X-Morph into something other than mindless destruction porn. In essence, this simple mix of genres eliminates the problems of each's original form on their own. These towers help defend the alien core but also obstruct the enemy's path. Where X-Morph gets creative is that in each wave of the invasion, players can construct towers across the map like a tower defense game. To do this players are put in charge of a spaceship that controls like any standard twin-stick shooter. players are taken all across the globe, charged with protecting an alien core that rips the Earth of its natural resources. It takes two genres that don't necessarily seem like they'll meld and creates something fantastic.

This immediately gives the game a special B-movie feel as the player's goal is to see the widespread and glorious destruction for your semi-mechanical alien race.

X-Morph: Defense is an atypical alien invasion video game for a number of reasons, the primary factor being that it flips the script for the usual narrative and places the player not in control of the humans defending Earth, but as the resource hungry aliens.
