About

TowerNest started as a group chat between three friends who kept sending each other screenshots of half-broken tower defence maps. At some point we decided that if we were arguing about wave timing this much, we might as well write it down properly. So we did.

Everything on this site comes from real playtime. We don't skim a trailer and call it a review. Someone on the team installs the game, plays through the early hours, pushes into the mid-game where the difficulty curve usually shows its teeth, and then reports back with actual builds and route plans.

We pick games by a simple rule: does it do something worth talking about? That could be a clever placement system, a fresh spin on lane control, or a campaign that keeps surprising us. Genre matters less than whether the design has ideas.

We're not tied to any studio and nobody pays for coverage. If a game bores us, we say so, and if it grabs us we explain exactly why so you can decide for yourself.
