This approach to tower defense leads to a highly dynamic, fast-paced, and micro-intensive push-of-war where players will have to think quickly and hone their resource management and timing. In Sons of Ra, players will play 1-on-1 matches with an opponent, tasked with destroying their temple, by sending units down set lanes and constructing towers.

Sons of Ra makes the list as a tower defense game for its advancements in competitive multiplayer, something few games in this subset have succeeded. There are three major frontiers for the development of tower defense games: multiplayer, open maps, and genre hybridization.
