Free Top-Down Games

Full 3D worlds seen from above, where you can read the whole situation at a glance. Neon Swarm fills a rain-soaked neon plaza with hundreds of enemies while your weapons fire on their own. Pocket Racers sends toy cars drifting across a kitchen table, a garden, a desk and a snow globe, with split-screen for two players.

The other three are slower and more deliberate. Bastion Line is tower defence on floating islands, where every tower you build reshapes the enemy's route. Deep Crypt is a turn-based roguelike through ten torch-lit floors with fog of war and permadeath. Shadow Heist is a noir stealth game: stay out of the lamplight, watch the guards' vision cones and crack the vault unseen.

Each has a daily challenge that is the same for every player, a photo mode, and support for keyboard, gamepad and touch.
