You will select a hero with unique abilities. As you defend your castle, you will earn money and loot. This will allow you to upgrade your castle and recruit AI controlled allies to synergize with and equip them with weapons and relics. You may also choose to allow the AI to control your hero.
In this tower defense game, players select a hero with unique abilities and defend a castle wall from waves of enemies. By left-clicking, players shoot at the oncoming foes, which include sheep, birds, and increasingly complex adversaries as the game progresses. Players can also utilize active abilities and items to aid in the defense.
Interestingly, the game offers an "auto-pilot" mode, allowing the AI to take control of the hero's actions, providing a more hands-off experience for players.
A key aspect of the gameplay is the ability to recruit AI-controlled allies, each with specialized classes and abilities. These allies can undergo level-up progression, and players can equip them with various weapons and relics. The game encourages players to build synergistic team compositions, unlocking powerful bonuses for having a certain number of the same class of units.
As players progress, they will acquire an array of weapons and relics that can be equipped to their hero and allies. These items have different effects, and players can upgrade their weapons at the anvil, applying various enhancements to customize their loadout.
The game features a roguelite structure, where player progress is partially carried over between runs. Defeating challenges unlocks permanent upgrades that can be applied to future runs, allowing for gradually increasing power and synergy options. This persistent progression system, combined with the diverse unit and synergy options, ensures a high level of replayability.
