1 - XCOM Enemy Within

Each turn, you would control your troops and move them around the missions' map completing objectives. The missions range from wiping out all hostiles to bomb a target or rescue hostages. After the match is done, you would be able to move back to your base and upgrade your troops. This is a completely single-player game - you won't find any microtransaction. However, it is not free.

2 - Arknights

This is probably one of the best games in the tower defense genre to date, with constant upgrades adding new characters, events and maps. It is also completely free - with no forced microtransaction to speak of - you can completely beat all the maps and get a lot of 6 stars characters by just playing the game as normal.

With the game using "Operators" in place of "Towers", the character designs for each hero is top-notch - with a consistently cool anime style.

3 - Bloons TD 6

Another tower defense game... however, this one is more of a grind than Arknights, as there is just too much content to unlock - you can play the thing all day, with lots of levels being 100 rounds or more. The grind is fairly slow as well... and there aren't nearly as many towers in Bloons TD 6 comparing to Arknights.
