What Gamespot Users have to say about Sanctum (2011)

Rating:6
This festive DLC is marred by eye-hurting lighting and particle effects, as well as awful singing.
INTRO: Sanctum was the game that gave indie developer Coffee Stain Studios its first major break. After a less-than-ideal launch of the game where it debuted with only the barest essentials, Coffee Stain Studios appears ... Read Full Review

Could have been better!
Excellent multi-player, way too short single player, innovative, worth trying. Wondered how it would look like to play a tower defence game by both constructing towers and killing yourself the unlimited hordes of mind... Read Full Review

Ruined by DLC.
Good: -An unusual combination of tower defense and 1st person shooting. -Towers can be arranged in interesting patterns depending on the map. -Switching to the overhead view and using it to make plans and teleport is ... Read Full Review

Innovative take on the TD genre! Addictive in co-op w/friends. Quick to learn but surprising depth if you commit to it.
This game is great fun! It takes virtually no time to learn, but still has lots of depth. The real fun and addiction starts when you play in multiplayer co-op (up to four players, and not two as stated elsewhere). Even a... Read Full Review

The most important thing to note about Sanctum is that the first-person shooter/tower-defense combo really works.
If you're a gamer, you're familiar with first-person shooter games. You may also be familiar with tower defense games. But no one has attempted to combine the two genres. Indie developer Coffee Stain Studios apparently n... Read Full Review

A mix of TD gaming and FPS (Neither overpowered or neglected) a true balance of the mediums!
This is a love or hate kind of game. If you love Tower Defense games /and/ am a fan of FPS games, you'll LOVE this. If you aren't too keen on Tower Defense games, you probably won't like this no matter how much you lov... Read Full Review

Idea is great, but key gameplay elements are missing and unfinished. Enemies are over-powered.
The concept of this game is marvelous and the gameplay is awesome, but there are some technical issues, that need to be swiftly resolved. They must include an option after how long the dead bodies of enemies disappear, ... Read Full Review
