Steam Page Tips for Tower Defense
Tower defense pages sell readable chaos: buyers want to see a maze mid-wave and immediately understand the systems. It’s also a genre with heavy demo/festival culture — a playable slice converts better here than almost anywhere.
The capsule
A defended chokepoint under attack — towers firing, enemies streaming. The genre’s buyers respond to density they can parse, not abstract key art.
The short description hook
Name the twist on the formula in sentence one: what you do between waves, what makes your towers/economy different. "Tower defense meets X" pitches carry this genre.
Screenshots that convert
One early-wave setup shot and one late-wave inferno. The delta between them is the depth pitch. Keep UI on — range circles and upgrade menus are content here.
The mistake to avoid
Screens too zoomed-out to read. If a viewer can’t distinguish tower types at a glance, the strategy looks shallow.
