Globe Siege vs Other Tower-Defense Games
Globe Siege is a 3D planet tower-defense that runs in the browser with no install (~0.65 MB, WebGL). Its distinctive angle is the round board - you defend a rotating hex globe, not a flat lane. Here is how it compares with the other browser tower-defense games on this site and with installed alternatives.
vs Medieval Wall Defense (2D, incremental)
Medieval Wall Defense is a 2D incremental wall-defense loop: you hold a flat wall, bank Research Points, and prestige across hundreds of runs. Globe Siege is spatial instead of incremental - the decision is where on the 3D globe you build, and terrain (mountains take only anti-air, oceans give energy) matters. Pick Medieval Wall Defense for a long idle-style climb; pick Globe Siege for per-level positioning.
vs Garden Defense (2D lane)
Garden Defense defends along flat lanes. Globe Siege wraps the battlefield onto a sphere, so corridors approach your cities from many directions at once and you rotate to keep them all covered - a different spatial-awareness demand than a fixed 2D screen.
vs installed / app-store tower-defense
Native tower-defense games (desktop or mobile app stores) usually offer bigger campaigns and 3D art, but they need a download and install, often an account, and sometimes ads or purchases. Globe Siege trades scope for zero-friction access: one ~0.65 MB load in a browser tab, no account, and all saves local. It needs a WebGL browser and plays best with a keyboard.
