Realm Defense: Hero Legends TD

A tower defense game built around heroes

Realm Defense: Hero Legends TD is a tower defense game for Android in which you hold a kingdom against waves of slimes, skeletons and other enemy factions. The listing describes it as free to play and aimed at people who already enjoy the genre.

What sets it apart is the hero roster. You command named characters such as Smoulder the dragon, Bolton the Wizard, Helios the Phoenix and a sorceress, and you place towers alongside them. Battles take place across worlds of frozen tundra, desert sands, a sky city, underground tunnels and a cherry blossom land.

Placing towers and casting spells in battle

Towers are the core of each defense. The listing names archers, barracks, magic towers and cannons, and says each world has its own set of four towers. Enemies come in distinct factions, so the same tower layout may not hold across every wave.

During a fight you can cast one of four spells, including ones that burn or freeze enemies. The listing also mentions a large collection of spells and power items to draw on.

Hero abilities and boss fights

Each hero has an ability you trigger in battle. The listing gives examples: Fee the Archer's Kill Shot, Lancelot the Knight's Fist of Justice, and Smoulder's Heat Seeker fireballs.

Bosses are a separate kind of test. The listing names a Skeleton Mage that rides a giant slime and zaps your heroes, and a Goblin King that rides a mammoth and tosses bombs.

Weekly tournaments and season ranking

The listing describes a weekly tournament in which players compete globally. Results count toward a ladder that runs through the season, and the highest rank is called Grand Master. Tournaments also offer prizes.

Daily challenges feed hero progression. The listing says completing them collects the power that awakens a hero's strength.

Hero skins from events and tournaments

Heroes can be customised with skins. The listing says skins come from seasonal events or from competing in tournaments, and that they can be shown off during tournament play.
