GÜN Defender

You are a member of humanity's elite MNCR operatives tasked with defending one of the "Big Giant Über Nuke" defense towers. Wave after wave of enemies will assault the tower. You must work with your team and the GÜN operator to defeat them. Will you endure, or explode?

Overview

• GitHub
• ASP.Net WebAPI / SignalR

Current Objectives
