About
Catnip Wars is a 1-4 player co-op tower defense game in which players control Catbots defending a catnip farm from waves of monsters. Turrets, walls, farms, windmills and repair stations are placed freely on a hex grid, and the farm doubles as the economy: catnip fields fund weapons and windmills power turrets. Fourteen monster types attack the farm, ranging from swarming chompers to armored giants and boss Necros. Players can man a heavy BFG turret, revive downed teammates, and progress through a 43-node tech tree across matches. The game includes eleven playable Catbots, 100 achievements and global leaderboards, and can be played solo or online with up to four players.
Story
Catbots defend a catnip farm from waves of monsters. The farm powers their weapons, so every hex of catnip they plant is both income and another thing to protect.
