Superpower Rally: Home Guard is a Plants vs. Zombies-shaped tower defence with roguelike progression bolted on, and it costs $2.79.

Awakened plants defend the last human home against a zombie legion. The lineage is obvious and the game is not pretending otherwise — what it adds is run-based randomness and a hero-growth layer on top.

Chart credential: riser, +2 to #43 on the Steam 250 weekly chart, scoring 6.86 from 36 reviews at 92% positive. Released 20 October 2026 by Happy Games.

Key features

Plants defined by trajectory, not just damage

Straight-line shots, parabolic throws, spread, bouncing, piercing and area explosions all behave differently against different lane layouts, and each plant carries its own super skill.

Making the shape of an attack the distinguishing feature rather than its numbers is what gives a cheap tower defence genuine decisions. A piercing plant and a bouncing plant can have identical damage and still be right in completely different situations.

Roguelike progression between runs

Random progression and plant hero growth mean the lineup you can field changes run to run, and the sun economy itself is upgradeable. It is the autobattler structure applied to lane defence.

Day and night modes

Two modes that change the economy and the threat profile, which is the mechanism the original genre used to force different builds and still the cheapest way to double a tower defence game’s content without doubling its assets.

Be clear about what this is

This is a derivative game at a derivative price. It wears its inspiration openly, the English text is machine-assisted in places, and 36 reviews is not a verdict.

What it has going for it is that it is explicitly low-spec friendly and costs less than a coffee. If you want tower defence to play on a weak laptop and do not need it to be original, that is a legitimate reason to buy it.
