About the Game

Brief introduction: The kingdom is under the threat of attack by hordes of evil. You and your units need to protect it from orcs, goblins and other monsters. Use a tactical approach to survive and win.

Gameplay: The Tower Defense Strategy game invites players to place fighters on the field, each of which has unique attacking or defensive abilities. You will be attacked by waves of enemies and the further you advance in the game, the greater the wave and the level of their strength. In later levels, players can acquire stronger units to counter armored enemies.
Each unit can only attack or defend on the track it is on. Gather food and use it to buy new units while maintaining game balance. Use the hero and his abilities to save the day in difficult times. If the monster reaches the end of the track a second time in a level, you will lose.

Visual style: The game is made in a 2D hand-drawn style. The world of the game is fabulous, inhabited by various animals. Weapons and other elements used in the game will be created in the same atmosphere, which will give the game a unique visual look.
The game is suitable for fans of the genre of strategy and tower defense. Also, the game will be interesting for those who love games in a fairy tale and fantasy world.

Game Ending: To complete the game, you need to defeat the final boss, which is located in the last level of the game.

Conclusion: Alongside is a fun game in which players must use their tactical skills to defend the kingdom from the consequences of horrific attacks. As you progress in the game, players will gain new levels and unique heroes with unique abilities.
