Note written 2026-09-10; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Real-time tower defense with RTS elements where you defend against procedurally mutating alien swarms across campaign and skirmish modes.

Infested Planet occupies a rare niche: a mechanically sound, deeply strategic tower defense title with strong community sentiment (93.6% positive, 70% still-playing) generating solid four-figure monthly residuals despite near-total developer silence for over eight years. The game's modest but stable playerbase and high review velocity relative to its quiet status suggest genuine organic appeal; acquisition as a catalog title offers low risk and immediate cash-flow contribution, while a modest content refresh or community reconnection could unlock dormant revival upside. Most realistic play: acquisition.

  • Risk: Engine and codebase are now a decade old; compatibility with future OS or API changes may require engineering investment.
  • Risk: Tower defense genre saturation means new marketing spend will face steep cost-per-acquisition; bulk of revenue appears organically retained from legacy playerbase.
  • Risk: Developer studio status listed as inactive; IP and source-code custodianship must be clarified before acquisition.
