Siege of Centauri is a tower defensevideo game where players must defend colonies from endless hordes of killer machines. The game takes place in the same universe as Ashes of the Singularity, a game developed by Oxide Games and published by Stardock. Different from most other tower defense games where players position their defenses on designated pedestals, players can drop turrets anywhere within a preset area. Different weapons have different advantages against different enemies, and defeating each level rewards the player with access to new weapons.
Upon its release on September 12, 2019, Siege of Centauri received an average score of 68 on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Kyle Hilliard of PC Gamer described the game as "a basic tower defense game with many concepts I have used before and it did little to get me excited about what was coming next." Ollie Toms of Rock Paper Shotgun found the game enjoyable, while calling it “one of the most uninspired games I’ve ever played”. While Jordan Boyrd of Screen Rant said that it "isn't a groundbreaking game," they also said it "does its job in doing justice to that niche despite a lackluster story and some technical issues". Tony Bae from COG Connected said that the game "felt dull after only a few hours of play", that they "didn’t feel a hint of passion in Siege of Centauri", and "f there ever was a game that felt phoned-in, this is it."
