About the Game

A dark curse threatens your village! Harness magical powers to build strategic defense towers and battle restless spirits from an ancient civilization. Strengthen your defenses with powerful towers, rune stones, and magic spells. Act now to halt the curse!

Mechanics

  • Core Loop:

Cursed ones advance along a specific path towards your village. Your goal is to prevent them from reaching and damaging the village. You must place defense towers at strategic points to defeat the enemies. When you defeat the enemies, you earn various resources. You should use these resources to build new towers and upgrade existing ones to save your village from the curse.

  • Rune Stones:

Rune stones are magical stones that you can equip to your towers to provide various enhancements. Some rune stones can be crafted by yourself, but others can only be obtained by defeating cursed ones. Additionally, runes can be upgraded. By combining two identical runes, you can level them up and improve their attributes. Each rune can be combined up to level 5.

  • Perks:

These are permanent upgrades. Each tower has its own perk tree. Only one perk can be upgraded from each branch of the tree. Therefore, you should choose the perks that best suit your strategy. But don't worry, these upgrades can be reset for a small fee.

  • Upgrades & Experience System:

Defeating cursed ones earns you experience points. Each time you level up, you gain upgrade points. You can use these upgrade points for perks, research, and other enhancements.

  • Researches:

Some spells and towers require advanced magical knowledge. To permanently acquire these, you must spend experience points to research.

  • Loot System:

Upon defeating the cursed ones, they may drop a variety of valuable items. The drops can include:

Potions: These potions restore your health or mana and provide temporary boosts to enhance your performance in battle.

Magical Scrolls: Containing potent spells or enchantments, these scrolls grant you new abilities or powerful effects that can shift the balance of combat.

Rare Rune Stones: Highly sought-after, these rare stones are crucial for significantly upgrading your defensive weapons and abilities. Their scarcity makes them a valuable find, offering substantial enhancements that can greatly influence your strategy and effectiveness.

Each type of loot has its own rarity and value, making every encounter an opportunity to acquire powerful new gear. Managing and utilizing these resources effectively will be key to defending your village from the cursed ones.

  • Enhancements:

Upgrade your village with essential improvements, such as additional inventory slots, increased population capacity or extra experience point gain . These upgrades provide greater flexibility and strength in your defense strategy, helping you manage resources and expand your capabilities.

Story

One day, a mining villager discovers a mysterious underground cellar. They find a magical crystal in the middle of the hall and take it to their land. This crystal gives them incredible magical powers, allowing them to evolve rapidly. But they didn’t know that the cellar was the graveyard of an ancient civilization, and taking the crystal from its nest would unleash the curse of this ancient civilization on them…

The magic crystal began to show its curse day by day. The souls lying in the cemetery resurrected one by one and began to haunt the village. The villagers went to the mining path to defend their lands with all their means.

Of course, they would not hesitate to use the magical power they obtained. At this point, the impact of the curse would become exponentially stronger and awaken the ancient god from her tomb.

The cursed ones are flocking to your village in waves. Along the way to your lands, you must defend with your magical abilities and defensive weapons and stop the curse before it destroys your village.
