Flex your strategic muscles with Gotchi Guardians — a chaotic, multiplayer roguelite tower defense game. Face off against seven other players as you build cute, devastating defenses to protect your Guardian from relentless waves of evil Licks. Adapt to unpredictable events, counter your opponents’ strategies, and outlast the madness to become the last Guardian standing!

From stubborn tanks to greedy misfits, every Guardian plays differently—and brings their own twist to the battlefield.
A total of 6 Guardians are available at launch, including the Pirate, the Archer, and the magic Shaaman—each offering a different playstyle for every kind of strategist.
Earn XP as you play and unlock unique talents for each Guardian, letting you grow stronger no matter how you choose to play.

Every match brings a new set of twists through the dynamic event system. Choose which towers to unlock, how many more enemies everyone should face, and what kind of upgrades the enemy Licks will gain—like exploding gas tanks or super sticky giant bullets for Steady Lads. Every decision affects the flow of battle.
Event choices grant rewards like Income, Items, and Upgrade Seeds, which unlock powerful tower evolutions. At the end of every 5-round day, all players must survive the rampage of a powerful Boss Lick!
Climb the seasonal leaderboards by earning Stars and Star Dust through consistent play. Survive longer, place higher, and unlock G-Bucks, cosmetics, and more at season’s end.

The Gotchiverse may be digital, but it’s packed with whimsical landmarks and adorable creatures. Every map offers a fresh setting with wild mechanics and surprise events that force players to adapt—or get licked.
From serene meadows to volcano-choked arenas, every location is a test of timing, tactics, and just a little bit of trolling.
And this is just the beginning—new maps, events, and surprises are already in the works.

Gotchi Guardians is just getting started. New Guardians, towers, bosses, Licks, items, maps, and events are all in the works—and we’re building it hand-in-hand with our community.
Led by veteran developer Jason Slama (GWENT, The Witcher series), Gotchi Guardians is being shaped by real player feedback at every stage. Join the dev team and fellow Guardians on our official Discord to share ideas, report bugs, earn bounties and stay up to date on all the latest news.
