About This Game

In this mix of Tower Defense, RTS, and Roguelite progression, you fight for your tribe's survival. The Imperium Aeternum, a massive shadow empire, sends its legions to erase the North and silence its gods.

From the Spiridun, the divine nexus of your forefathers, command your last defense: build towers and rally warriors. Hold the line against endless waves, then strike back to reclaim your lands.

Each battle is a divine trial. As you fall and rise, ancient runestones awaken forgotten powers, reshaping your strategy with every run. Win the gods favor in the dawn of a new age: the Dawn of Defense.

Your homeland withers under the Empire’s grip. Strike back against their strongholds, reclaim lost lands, and restore your tribe’s dominion.

Battle enemies on two fronts: Defend yourself with towers and troops against enemy waves surging through the trenches, then command heroes and warriors in RTS sieges to capture new islands and enemy strongholds.

Summon your tribe's mightiest heroes to lead your forces into battle. Each hero brings unique abilities and powers, allowing you to shape the course of battle.

Every captured isle becomes a foothold for your people. Raise towers, rally warriors, claim strategy resources and build an economy to sustain your defenses against the Empire's forces.

Face Empire warlords who challenge your defenses with unique tactics. With each run, uncover their identity, learn their patterns, and adapt your strategy to claim victory.

Uncover the powers of ancient runestones and unlock upgrades for towers, warriors and economy, forging new strategies with every battle.

Each battle sharpens your tactics, unlocks new tools, and prepares you for greater challenges ahead. Rise stronger and stand ready to face the Empire’s assault.
