It follows the traditional rules that defined the genre:
a single path, medieval towers placed around it, and enemies that advance relentlessly toward their goal. Towers cannot be attacked, positioning matters, and strategy comes from planning rather than micromanagement.
On top of this familiar foundation, the game introduces modern systems and deeper mechanics that significantly expand replayability and strategic depth.

Each tower features advanced stats — critical chance and critical damage, multi-target attacks, range, fire rate and scaling effects — and its own skill set that unlocks as the tower levels up.
Level a tower to unlock its skills — from poison arrows and meteor rain to marks that amplify all damage a target takes. Nine towers, forty-two skills: the same tower can play a completely different role in every run.

After key waves the game deals you a hand of rewards — pick one, and shape the whole run:
89 modifiers across three rarity tiers — Common, Rare and Legendary — with rerolls for when the hand does not fit. Every choice is permanent, and no two runs play out the same.

The main mode is a ten-level campaign designed as one self-contained run — from the first breach at The City Gates to the last stand in the Silent Necropolis, where twenty waves crash against everything you have learned.
Inspired by roguelike progression, each run feels different — but without permanent unlocks.
All mechanics and modifiers are available from the start, ensuring that success depends on decision-making, not grind.

The horde grows with you: wolves and skeletons give way to golems, griffins and werewolves, until dragons and leviathans darken the sky. 24 enemy types across three tiers — walkers and flyers, elites with swollen health bars, and a boss arriving every fifth wave.
Every enemy carries real physical, arcane and pure resistances — the armored knight that shrugs off arrows will melt under arcane fire. The in-game compendium (bestiary, arsenal and modifier codex) keeps every number one click away.

Endless Mode turns every map into a proving ground: waves keep scaling in strength, speed and composition until your defense finally cracks. Push a build to its limit, then push further — the game keeps a personal best record for every map, waiting to be beaten.
Built with modern technology, the game features clean, readable visuals, detailed environments, and impactful effects designed specifically for a top-down tower defense experience.
Sound design and visual feedback emphasize clarity, intensity, and atmosphere.

We are a very small team, and this game is balanced almost entirely from what we can observe. To do that, the game sends an anonymous record of each run: the map and difficulty you chose, which wave you reached, what you built, and whether you won.
It never sends your name, your Steam account, your e-mail, your IP address, or anything you have typed. The only identifier is a random number generated on first launch, which is not connected to you in any way and cannot be traced back to you.
You can turn it off at any time in Settings > Game > Share anonymous statistics.
