About This Game

DRAW THE PATH. CONTROL THE HORDE.

Forget Tower Defense games with fixed roads.

In Ghouls & Guardians, you design the route enemies must follow.

Before each level’s waves begin, connect the ghoul entrance to your village temple. Bend the route through tower spots, use their visible ranges to plan your defenses, and turn every curve into a tactical decision.

SHAPE THE BATTLEFIELD

  • Draw the enemy road from the entrance to the temple

  • Plan your route around valuable tower spots

  • Work around terrain, slopes, obstacles, and building limits

  • Create long, exposed paths where your defenses can do the most damage

BUILD, GATHER, DEFEND

⛏️ Construct towers on strategic tower spots
🌲 Send workers to harvest the resources that fuel your defenses
🛡️ Place barracks along the road to recruit Guardians

Your economy is part of the battlefield.
Protect your workers, improve your production, and keep the materials flowing each wave.

COLLECT UPGRADE COINS

Every 20 ghoul kills an Upgrade Coin appears on the battlefield.
Collect it, select one of your buildings, and choose how it improves.

  • Upgrade individual towers with more damage, greater range, or faster firing

  • Increase sawmill wood production

  • Increase mining camp stone production

  • Add guardians to barracks or improve their damage and health

Each upgrade belongs to the building you selected.
Create your own battlefield strategy.

MASTER THE ARSENAL

Build towers with different strengths and damage types:

🔥 Fire attacks can inflict Burnt 
❄️ Ice attacks can inflict Frozen

FACE THE HORDE

❤️ The temple has 20 lives. Every ghoul that reaches it costs one.

Fight relentless Graspers, fast Ravagers, Armored Graspers, burning Ashplates, frostbound Jaggerfrosts, massive Bonecrushers, and Boomwights that explode and destroy everything in their way.

  • Defend your workers and Guardians

  • Counter different enemy strengths and weaknesse

  • Keep your economy alive under pressure

  • Survive escalating levels with up to 25 waves

NEW CHALLENGES EVERY LEVEL

The game rewards fast planning, flawless defenses, surviving without worker casualties, correct tower builds, and discovering hidden secrets.

Are you ready to overcome all the levels?
