12 itemsAbout the Game
Malón is an indie tower defense game with a top-down view that combines elements of strategy and skill: victory depends as much on your strategic insight as on your dexterity in controlling your character.
In Malón, you’ll manage a frontier army outpost, taking on the responsibility of defending it at all costs. To succeed, you’ll need to grow your economy, expand your base, and train soldiers to fight by your side in defense of the flag.
Day and Night Cycles:
During the day — when strategy takes center stage — you’ll have to think carefully about how to invest your coins, because once night falls, there’s no turning back.
During the dark hours, you'll have to fight with whatever you've got. The worse your decisions were during the day, the more you’ll need to make up for them with your skill at night.
Upgrade Units and Structures:
Expanding the fort with new structures and units isn’t enough, you’ll also have to upgrade them before it’s too late.
Give your gauchos boleadoras, replace your soldiers’ old muskets with breech-loading rifles, load your cannons with grapeshot… These are just some of the things awaiting you in Malón.
Malon's Campaign:
Each of these has its own characteristics that make it unique. Discover what lies hidden in Pampa, Patagonia, and Andes to earn three stars on every level!
Endless Survival Mode:
Compare your skills with other players! Survival mode features a global ranking, where you’ll be able to fight for a spot in the top 10 players who have managed to withstand the most nights with their fort.
