About This Game

Three hundred years ago, Varkhal was stopped. Now his servants are opening the Gates, and hordes of monsters march along the roads once more. Lead your company, protect the settlements, and reach the Great Gates to stop the invasion.

Grimlane is a pixel art tower defense game where you build a town from cards. Assemble a deck of towers, buildings, and boosts, get your economy going, and prepare for the next wave.


Choose your towers, town buildings, and boosts before each run. In battle, decide how to use the cards you draw. Build another tower or upgrade an existing one? Invest in your income or look for the card your defenses need? Shape your strategy, then adapt as the battle unfolds.




Build sawmills, windmills, and other buildings, then spend the gold you earn on your defenses.

Place buildings near the towers they strengthen. Plan your town to leave room for both your economy and your defenses. The sooner your town starts earning gold, the more you can build—if you survive the next wave.




Unlock upgrades in the Grimoire after every run. Permanent bonuses help you grow your town, strengthen your defenses, and overcome waves that once seemed impossible.




Team up with friends in groups of up to six players. Share cards and gold, help upgrade your allies’ towers, and mark important locations on the battlefield.




Draw maps, customize waves, design objectives, and add events with your own rules.
