Base Defense is one of the shooting games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Base Defense puts a target in front of you and a weapon in your hands. Aim, timing and knowing when not to fire are the whole game. Its tags tell you what to expect: aiming and firing at targets is the primary action; you place defences to stop waves along a path.

Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Because this is a Tower Defense game, build at corners where the path doubles back so towers get two passes at every enemy.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
