    Small update to add a minor performance improvement.

  • Updates Notes: 11-25-2022 - 26 November 2022

    Introducing new casual mode. Although TEP the Destroyer was designed to be an intensive and difficult tower defense game that requires excellent planning and resource management, we recognize that some players prefer a more casual experience. The new casual mode offers the following changes. 1. Fewer Bosses 2. Fewer creeps that shoot back 3. Better spread of creeps to make them easier to manage. 4. Money over time at a rate of 1 per second. This is to help make up for the lost economy with the lower creep count. 5. End of round bonuses also to help make up for lost economy. 6. Higher starting money to allow for more diversity at initial set up. 7. Wins in casual mode will also count towards progression in standard mode. This is for those who are stuck on a particular level and would prefer an easier path. What casual mode is not 1. AFK Mode - Although the new casual mode is significantl…

  • 7-16-2022 Update - 16 July 2022

Short description

TEP the destroyer is a single player tower defense game where you will face alien monsters and ships in ground and space battles! Your strategy will decide the fate of your people in a sci-fi environment of varying difficulties!

About this game

TEP the destroyer is a single player tower defense game where you will face over 50 unique alien monsters of increasing difficulty. Strategically place 8 types of turrets to ensure the maximum damage to your foes. 5 different armor types. 5 different damage types. Weapon effectiveness is greatly influenced by the type of enemy you are fighting. Complete the main quest line for the ultimate challenge! Infinite waves, excessive power ups, and no hope. How long can you survive before the alien horde will destroy you? An alien horde has overrun all of your peoples defenses. In desperation, the Destroyers have been activated to try and stop the alien horde and save mankind. The destroyers, a small group of ruthless, AI combat commanders that have long been forgotten. Once hailed as hero's for decimating the militaries of the world and bringing lasting peace. Ultimately, the destroyers were considered too dangerous and were placed in permanent isolation and forgotten. Take control as TEP, the strongest of the ancient AI battle commanders. After 500 years of isolation you emerge into a world of total devastation and an overwhelming alien force laying waste to everything around you. Search for new and more powerful weapons. Defend the last survivors of humanity and then track down the aliens to their origin point. Ensure complete extinction of the threat.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Tep The Destroyer TD's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Tep The Destroyer TD's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Tep The Destroyer TD at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
