About This Game

Hero Tower Defense is a top-down roguelike tower defense game.

Recruit heroes, build your defenses, and create unique team compositions with skills, plugins, equipment, and gems as relentless waves of enemies approach. Adapt your hero placement and battle strategies to the terrain, enemy types, and your current build.

Reshape the Battlefield with Platforms and Fences

Platforms give ranged heroes valuable range and positioning advantages, while working together with fences to redirect enemy movement. Block passages, split enemy groups, and extend their routes to funnel enemies into concentrated fire, create overlapping attack zones, or prepare dedicated defenses against dangerous targets.

Every platform and fence can change the flow of battle. Plan your construction carefully and balance terrain, enemy routes, and hero placement to build an effective defense.

A Wealth of Heroes and Build Options

The game currently features:

• 70+ Heroes

• 200+ Traits

• 100+ Skills

• 80+ Plugins

• 100+ Equipment Items

• 14 Gem Types

• 120 Waves of Combat

Each hero has distinct attack patterns, skills, attributes, and traits. Combine heroes to take advantage of class and race synergies, along with team bonds that strengthen your lineup.

Create Your Own Combat Builds

Combine skills, plugins, equipment, and gems to develop different combat strategies:

• Strengthen basic attacks to maintain constant pressure on enemy waves.

• Clear crowds with powerful area attacks.

• Build around critical hits, burning, crowd control, or elemental damage.

• Enhance your heroes with equipment affixes and gem bonuses.

• Use plugins to modify skill effects and change the pace of combat.

Adapt to Evolving Threats

Enemies attack along different routes, each with their own attributes, abilities, and special affixes. As the waves progress, you will face stronger elites, commanders, and bosses. Study their strengths, adjust your positioning, and refine your targeting priorities to hold the line.

Every Run Brings New Possibilities

Recruitment options, battle rewards, skill and plugin choices, equipment affixes, enemy compositions, and boss encounters vary from run to run. Make the most of limited resources, adapt your build as opportunities arise, and find the strategy that fits the challenge ahead.

Assemble your heroes, shape the battlefield, and forge your build. Defend your tower through 120 waves of enemies.
