You control the Prime Cannon in the defense of Taurea, homeworld of the Tauron droids, as the Imperion forces invade. Aim and fire its primary and secondary weapons, and unlock weapons and abilities to use during battles.
Prepare for different attacks by building defenses such as auto-turrets, droids, and aircraft. Battles combine hands-on shooting with automated units, and the destructible environment can change as structures, units, and plants are damaged.
Secure war zones to gain resources for building defenses, reforging weapons, and researching technology. You can deploy to only one war zone per day; leaving others undefended risks losing control and their resources. The campaign tracks control of the planet over time, so your battlefield results shape its progress.
Players who enjoy Taur often praise its distinctive blend of tower defense and direct cannon control, along with the satisfaction of building up defenses and watching battles unfold with destructible environments. Some also enjoy experimenting with upgrades and units. Recurring reservations include a short campaign with limited reasons to keep playing afterward, uneven difficulty, and reports of a double-cursor problem; several players also wish the game had received more updates.
