[http://www.puppygames.net/revenge-of-the-titans/ '''''Revenge of the Titans'''''] is a game by Puppy Games that falls somewhere between [[Tower Defense]] and [[Real Time Strategy]] , where the player not only has to organize static defenses but account for the [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|gigantic, stampeding ranks of skyscraper-sized aliens]] changing their approach route to adapt to the player's decisions. The player uses a large array of [[More Dakka|stuff that goes fast and explodes]] to defend Earth city by city (and the solar system beyond) then uses left over funds from zapping funky teal crystals to [[Construct Additional Pylons|get necessarily better, cooler stuff]] between missions.

The game has a neat neo-retro aesthetic, campy 50's sci-fi plot and expansive set of cool strategic implements that make it a worthy play.

=== Revenge of the Titans contains examples of the following: ===
* [[Aliens and Monsters]] - The Titans.
* [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever]] - The Titans are noticeably larger than most buildings, and can easily walk through most obstacles, such as skyscrapers.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]] - The titles of most (if not all) of the Moon levels are wordplay to do with various types of cheese.
* [[Badass Mustache]] - The Commander has one. It moves when he talks.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[No Damage Run]] - Perfectly possible. You even get a $500 reward and medal for doing so. It says "The Titans didn't even scratch the paint."
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]] - The ''Effigia'' and ''Phasmatis'' Ghost Titans are first sighted near the end of the Mars campaign, and also appear later in the game. Without the X-Ray Scanner tech your turrets cannot target or hit them, they are barely visible if not near the Main Base itself. Fortunately you can use the Capacitor to zap them manually. With the X-Ray Scanner, turrets can spot and target the Ghost Titans, but do very little damage.
* [[Science Fiction]] - Revenge of the Titans is heavily based on 1950's sci-fi. It also helps that all of the Titans are [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|very large.]]
* [[Shock and Awe]] - The Capacitor 'turret' dispenses streams of electricity on demand, but must be manually controlled. This does mean it can zap targets that the turrets cannot aim at, such as the mini-titans and ghost titans.
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]] - The Science Advisor has them.
