Why be good when you can be... bad? Cursed Treasure 2 is an addictive tower-defense game that puts the power of darkness at your fingertips. Build towers of powerful orcs, demons, and undead, and master powerful spells, to protect your precious hoard from all manner of no-good do-gooders.
Players must strategically place and upgrade different tower types to protect their hoard of gems from invading heroes. An interesting twist is that each tower type can only be built on certain terrain types, forcing players to thoughtfully consider tower placement. This terrain-based restriction adds an additional layer of strategy to the traditional tower defense formula.
The game features three core tower types - demons, orcs, and undead - each with their own unique abilities and upgrades. As players progress, they can unlock and enhance a total of 27 different tower variations, significantly expanding the strategic options available. The robust upgrade system allows players to carefully tailor their tower compositions to handle the increasingly challenging enemy waves.
In addition to tower placement, players must manage two key resources: gold and mana. Gold funds the construction and upgrading of towers, while mana powers spells and environmental manipulations, such as cutting down trees to open up new building sites. Effectively balancing these resources is crucial to success, as players must carefully prioritize their spending to counter the threats they face.
The game features a progression system that rewards players with experience points and skill points for completing levels. These points can be used to unlock new tower upgrades and powerful spells, further enhancing the player's capabilities. The game also includes a "Night Mode" for each level, which introduces a fog of war mechanic, adding an extra layer of challenge and replayability.
Players are presented with a diverse array of enemy types, each with their own unique behaviors and abilities, such as invisibility, healing, and spawning additional foes. Overcoming these varied threats requires careful planning and execution, as players must adapt their tower compositions and strategies to counter the specific challenges posed by each enemy type.
