About Turret Count
An independent review site for PC tower-defence games, written in the UK, priced in pounds.
Why a site about one genre
Tower defence is the genre most of us never stopped playing: a browser game at school, a phone game on the bus, and now a shelf of serious PC releases that rival any strategy game for depth. The big review sites cover the famous ones and skip the rest. We wanted one place where the twelve defences worth your money in 2026 sit side by side, counted on the same five checks, with the real price in pounds next to each.
Who writes the reports
Three players in the north of England who have, between them, put a few thousand hours into placing towers in the wrong spot and learning why. We play on PC, on ordinary hardware, with a mouse and, where the game allows it, a pad on the sofa. Every report describes the game as it was in October 2026: current patch, current price, current add-ons.
How we stay independent
- We pay for the games. Where a studio sent a code we say so in the report's facts panel, and it changes nothing about the count.
- No publisher buys a place on the list, a count or a sentence. There is no sponsored content on Turret Count.
- There are no affiliate links. A store button takes you to the store page and nothing is tracked on the way.
- Prices are read by hand from the UK storefronts on the date printed on every page, and we show the usual price next to any sale price so a discount never hides the true cost.
What the site is not
Turret Count covers ordinary paid and free-to-start video games played for entertainment. We do not cover, link to or review anything involving real-money play, and games whose main loop depends on buying random items are left off the list, however good they are. How we count explains the rest of the method.
Corrections
A price changed, a patch moved a mechanic, we got a fact wrong: tell us at desk@turretcount.co.uk or through the contact page and we will fix the report and note the date of the change at the bottom of it.
