Sanctum is the world's first FPS tower defense game and is set in a beautiful science fiction world. You take the role of Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her hometown, Elysion One, from hordes of mysterious alien creatures. To facilitate your success you construct defensive structures and upgrade handheld weapons. Jump right into the fray and wreak havoc with your own weapons - unlike regular tower defense games, you are a key part of the defense. Sanctum has taken the best features of first person shooters and tower defense games to create something totally unique.

I find the creators of this game very inspiring, as when I'm older I want to take up game making as a possible career/hobby, as I've wanted to do that since I was around 5 years old. I'd also really like to know what game engine they used to make sanctum, because I think the graphics are great! So, as I started with, I find the creaters of this indie inspiring role models, and hope to turn out like them one day!
Also, if the dev's get this comment, I would really REALLY appreciate some basic tutoring towards game making! :)
Sanctum is made using Unreal Engine 3.
The best tip if you want to start making games is to grab some user friendly tool like Yoyogames.com and try doing some fun things.. The second thing you need to learn is to write code :)
It is awesome to hear you get inspired! :-)
can anyone show me how to install steam? youtube link easyest way!
is this worth the money
I thought so.
Yogscast DLC? Wtf???
It's because the Yogscast are friends with the developers of Sanctum. If I'm correct.
game is awsome
Such a great game. Needs more people playing.
