Developed solo by Echo Entertainment and released in 2020 for PC, Taur is a sci-fi action-strategy game that blends elements from tower defense, real-time strategy, and shooter genres into a distinctive hybrid experience. Players operate the Prime Cannon, a powerful weapon capable of firing a primary and secondary armament simultaneously, while unlocking and upgrading additional weapons and abilities over the course of a campaign. Between battles, resources gathered from secured war zones fund the construction of defensive structures including auto-turrets, droids, and aircraft. The campaign centers on protecting Taurea, homeworld of the Tauron droids, from the Imperion, a conquering galactic droid empire. Players deploy to one war zone per day, making strategic prioritization essential, as abandoned zones risk falling under enemy control. Fully destructible environments — including units, buildings, and vegetation — add a tactical layer to engagements spanning invasions, air raids, tank sieges, and infantry drops. The campaign concludes with a climactic battle against the Imperion Overlord.
