What makes each game different
PlayWhat you doA useful first decision
Monster SurvivorsMove through waves of monsters, gather loot, and improve the survivor between attempts. Starting weapon choices support different distances from the enemy crowd.Leave an escape lane while gathering loot. A route through a narrow gap can become unsafe when the next wave closes it.
Hero Rush Tower DefensePlace and upgrade towers along enemy routes, then combine them with hero abilities. Each map changes where a tower can cover the most useful part of the path.Prioritize positions that cover a bend or multiple stretches of road before buying a tower simply because a slot is empty.
Crown DefenseProtect the king's tower from approaching enemies and use earned coins to strengthen later attempts. A failed defense can still support the next run.Match your next upgrade to the reason the tower fell. More damage and better survival address different weaknesses.
