Download for Windows — free How to play
What the game is
- Tower defense with a hero. You walk the map with your commander, attack, use abilities and decide where each guardian stands.
- Warband, shop and merging. Between waves, buy guardians, keep them in reserve and merge identical copies to level them up.
- Summoning. A guardian can leave its post for a while to fight next to the commander.
- A big campaign, playable offline. 10 maps, 100 stages and 10 bosses, each map with its own mechanic, plus a harder Heroic mode.
- Actually free. No purchases with real money, no ads. In-game currencies are only earned by playing.
