About the Game

In Tower Offense, an action-packed 1v1 tower defense/offense game, one player competes as a noble lord of the castle who defends his fortress with clever traps, archers and catapults - while the other is a ruthless besieger with knights, magicians and perhaps even dinosaurs who wants to bring the castle down. Who will win the duel for glory and conquest?

Main Tower & Objective

The defender must protect his Main Tower - if it falls, the attacker wins.

Tower

Defenders place towers on a grid to defend the Main Tower. Towers are available in three categories:

Offensive: Cause damage (e.g. archer tower, witch cauldron)

Defensive: Block enemy units (e.g. walls)

Resources: Increase income & tower limits (e.g. mine, supply house)

Units (Attacker)

The attacker deploys units to destroy towers and reach the Main Tower. Each unit has its own strengths such as high damage, range or additional income.

Upgrade Tiers

Both sides have 3 upgrade tiers:

Defender: Unlocks tiers with gold

Attacker: Receives upgrades randomly via Card Upgrades

Supply & Income

Supply: Determines how many towers & units can be placed.

  • Defender: Through supply houses

  • Attacker: Through card upgrades

Income: Controls the gold per round.

  • Defender: Through mines (+10 income per round)

  • Attackers: Through deployed units, dwarves or card upgrades

Customizable Rounds

Settings such as starting gold, supply & number of rounds are customizable.
