About the Game

Strategize With Runes

Each tower has two rune traits. Pairing towers within the same rune trait grants them powerful bonuses. With 8 different rune traits, there are plenty of options to mix and match. Plan ahead to build the ultimate combo!

Roguelike Elements

In Runeroots TD, no two runs are the same! The enemy path, resources, perks, and even the enemies you are facing are randomized. Learn your enemies weaknesses, and react by building the perfect defensive setup, or use your rune powers if you are in a bind!

Choices Matter

There are a variety of upgrades you can pick throughout each run. Perks modify a specific tower type, items enhance a single tower, and Relics which are global modifiers drastically changing the way each run is played. Do you make one super tower? Or spread the perks across many different towers?

Two Unique Game Modes

1) Adventure Mode lets you chart your own course across 3 acts. After every 5 waves, you get to pick your next destination. Should you visit a rune monument to gain a rune power, or grab a treasure chest instead? Or visit the blacksmith and craft upgrades for your towers!


2) Mastery mode gives you a massive tech tree to progress through, constantly evolving your town's technology so you can progress further and further! How many waves can you defeat?

Rebuild Your Home

Level up your town as you play! The town evolves over time and unlocks new features to use on your next run.
