Siege of Centauri is a tower defense strategy in science fiction atmosphere, in which we must eliminate alien armies consisting of up to tens of thousands of units. We use automatic defence structures dropped from orbit, which can be improved and modified between missions.
Siege of Centauri is a tower defense strategy game and a spin-off to the Ashes of the Singularity franchise. The project was developed by Stardock, known from Star Control: Origins and the Galactic Civilizations series.
The game is set in the same universe as Ashes of the Singularity. The action takes place in the distant future, at a time when human civilization has extended its influence to countless planetary systems.
In Siege of Centauri, we command an expedition sent to investigate the loss of contact with the first extraterrestrial colony located on the planet in the Proxima Centauri system. After arriving at the place, it turns out that the reason is an invasion of a alien race. Our task is to save the colonists and stop the alien offensive.
The game is set in the Ashes of the Singularity universe, but unlike the former game, Siege is not a classic RTS but a tower defense strategy game. The action takes place in real-time, but the player's task is to use automatic defensive structures to repel the attacks of progressively stronger enemy forces.
The player takes on the role of the commander of the spacecraft Carpatia. The unit is unable to operate in the atmosphere of a planet, so we have to rely on defensive equipment dropped from the orbit. Enemies attack in waves and during one battle we have to eliminate tens of thousands of aliens. Each victory enables us to occupy another section of the planet, but at the same time increases the aggression of our enemies in the next battle.
In order to win, we are helped by a system of technology improvement, which enables us to strengthen the defense structures between missions. In addition, in an emergency, the player can use special abilities, thanks to which it is possible, for example, to strengthen the operation of sentry towers for a short time.
Siege of Centauri was built on an improved version of the engine used in Ashes of the Singularity. Thanks to this, the game can display large armies while maintaining good performance.

Game Ratings for Siege of Centauri Video Game.
GamingTrend: 75 / 100 by Sean Anthony
Siege of Centauri is a fun tower defense title for a good price. While, visually, there's more to be desired, it runs incredibly well despite the thousands of enemies that can flood the map as you place your towers in an oftentimes frantic and addictive mission to protect your colony. It's well worth the asking price.
Worth Playing: 7 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Ultimately, Siege of Centauri is fine. Its mechanics are solid enough, it does everything else decently on-screen, and the pyrotechnics are spectacular to see. It just doesn't feel like anything special, from the abilities to the story to the units to the towers. It's the kind of game that you wouldn't mind playing but won't rush out to buy immediately, making this difficult to recommend unless you devour every game in the tower defense genre.
Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Jordan Boyd
Siege of Centauri provides a familiar and fun tower defense experience with plenty of reasons for players to keep coming back for more.
