About 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!

  • Adventure Mode: Fight through a series of stages and take on powerful bosses.

  • Endless Mode: Play special event maps and over 80 stages while competing for the top spot on the leaderboards!

  • Enigma Sanctum: A fast-paced game mode where you build the strongest defense with a limited set of cards.
