15 itemsAbout the Game

Build a maze before the battle begins! Be creative and find the best setup with the block cards in your hand.
Make good use of your limited wall blocks! Will you make the monsters take a longer route, or will you use the blocks to position your towers more strategically?
After the battle, add various runes to the block cards! Runes can enhance your towers, grant blocks special abilities, or even double their size!

Tower with various sizes: 1x3? 2x2? 3x3? Building powerful towers requires careful planning!
Poison Towers that Span Monster Paths: Instead of shooting, we pour poison directly on the enemies' heads!
Drone Towers that Track Enemies: Why wait for enemies to come? Attack is the best form of defence!
D20 Towers that Test Your Luck: Higher number equals higher damage!
(...and a lot more!!)

Choose your character and flame before starting your adventure!
Each run is unique with different maps, tower compositions, and mazes.
Collect new towers, block cards, or power relics during your journey.
Each battle grants you experience. Learn from various talents and become stronger for your next adventure!
