Desktop Tower Defense does not follow the generic Tower Defense game style. Unlike many other tower defense games, the path of the creeps themselves is not set; instead, the towers built determine the path of the creeps, who take the shortest path they can find to the exit. This allows for you to choose your own way of playing the game and it also allows for very interesting strategies. Not only can you affect the path that the creeps follow, but you will also need to manage your finances and decide on whether it is more viable to build more turrets or upgrade your existing ones. Strategic placement of different turrets is key, since each turret has it's place and it's special ability. The creeps come in waves at set intervals. Each wave of creeps has different characteristics, such as immunity to certain towers, extra resistance to certain towers, and the abilities to spawn new creeps, move faster than normal, or fly over the towers instead of following the maze. For each wave, the game rotates among the types of creeps. 桌面塔防不遵循通用塔防游戏风格。与许多其他塔防游戏不同，小兵本身的路径没有设定;相反，建造的塔确定了小兵的路径，他们可以找到他们可以找到出口的最短路径。这允许您选择自己的游戏方式，并且还允许非常有趣的策略。 您不仅可以影响小兵的路径，还需要管理您的财务状况，并决定构建更多炮塔或升级现有炮塔是否更可行。不同炮塔的战略布局是关键，因为每个炮塔都有它的位置和它的特殊能力。 小兵以固定的间隔进入波浪。每一波小兵都有不同的特征，例如对某些塔的免疫力，对某些塔的额外抵抗力，以及产生新生物的能力，比平常移动得更快，或飞越塔而不是跟随迷宫。对于每一波，游戏在各种类型的小兵中旋转。
