ROD: Revolt Of Defense

You guide a four-engine flying platform through space, working to activate a cosmic cube that can cleanse the stars of infection. Each journey takes you between stars in a randomly generated universe.

Explore for building materials, artifacts, treasure maps, and chests. Chests require keys, which can be bought in stores, so you must weigh spending resources against the possible rewards.

Keep the platform's oxygen supply going by planting trees, build and improve defenses, and use soldiers to face enemy attacks. The game combines survival management and tower-defense combat as you develop your mobile base.

The supplied review enjoys the mix of exploration, survival management, and tower defense, especially the changing star-to-star journeys and the challenge of maintaining a mobile base. It also notes that some mechanics feel rough, with occasional balance and interface frustrations.
