Gameplay

You start each match with a small amount of gold and an empty map. Waves of enemies follow fixed routes; you build towers on the open tiles between those routes. Each tower has a school (Fire, Frost, Lightning, Shadow, Arcane, and so on), a path that decides what it specializes in (damage, range, control, support), and upgrade slots that you fill as you earn more gold.

Tower placement is not just about coverage. Adjacent towers from compatible schools trigger synergy effects — there are 66 such combinations across the school pairs, each producing a different bonus.

The wave generator scales difficulty as you progress. There is no fixed "win" condition — endless mode keeps going as long as your defense holds.

Co-op

Up to six players can share one map online. Each player has their own gold pool and tower roster; the map and the wave timer are shared.
