How it plays

Tower defense is the definitional core mechanic, with the entire game centered on placing and upgrading towers to stop enemy waves. Tower upgrades are acquired through card draws, making deck-assembly and strategic selection of tower powers a major progression system. Tactically expanding and shaping the path to control enemy movement is a core strategic tool distinct from just placing towers.

How it's structured

Roguelike elements mean play consists of discrete runs that reset, with progression carried between attempts through unlocks. The continuously expanding path is procedurally generated each run, ensuring no two playthroughs follow identical layouts. Procedural generation and roguelike structure with strategic path manipulation ensure each run feels meaningfully different.
