Sanctum is an indie tower-defense shooter hybrid that blends real-time strategy planning with first-person combat. Originally released in 2011, the game tasks players with building defensive structures and then engaging directly in combat to repel waves of enemies across procedurally-varied maps.
Recent coverage reflects activity around two separate titles bearing the Sanctum name. Palworld players are discovering the Sealed Sanctum location within that game's 1.0 release, with guides circulating on how to access it. Meanwhile, Dominar Sanctum, an RTS-focused spin on the formula by solo developer Florisworlds, has entered public playtest on Steam with four campaign maps. This version shifts perspective to an overhead strategic view before allowing players to transition into third-person action alongside their commanded forces - a notable departure from the original's first-person approach.
