What this tower defense game is about
You play a lieutenant whose job is to strengthen a fort as monsters arrive in waves. The game is built around upgrading that fort over time, so each fight leaves you with something to spend.
It suits players who enjoy steady upgrade progression more than fast action. The listing rates it PEGI 7 and places it in the Strategy category.
Upgrading the fortress in battle and between fights
Each time you survive an attack you receive Coins, which you spend on upgrades during the battle, and Gold, which you spend on upgrades outside the Workshop. The listing names strength, defense and fire rate among the upgradable stats, with dozens of further features on top.
The developer's tip is to raise firing distance and rate of fire, which it says help the fortress last longer. Higher levels unlock more features to upgrade.
Cards, support packages and unlocks
Cards add extra features to the fortress, so the same base defense can be configured in different ways. Support packages are a separate group of add-ons that the listing describes as useful.
Reaching higher levels opens new features, which gives the upgrade system a clear long-term path.
Laboratory research and the Research Room
The laboratory holds a set of research works that the listing describes as strong upgrades. Research is the main way the game's longer-term power grows.
The developer recommends spending time in the Research Room to speed up the game and to find resources faster.
Idle gifts, battle simulation and maps
Idle gifts give you extra resources without any action on your part, so progress continues between active sessions. The game also lets you simulate fights between your fortress and the alien monsters.
The game includes many maps, and the monsters on them carry special skills that change how each wave plays out.
