Our take on Poly TD
The presentation foregrounds legendary figures from across time and fiction, but the described play loop centers on summoning, merging, evolving units, and surviving repeated waves. The hero names add flavor; the main structure remains a score-focused defensive strategy game.
What is Poly TD?
Poly TD combines tower-defense customs inspired by Warcraft III with roguelike progression.
Summon units, merge them, and evolve them from basic peasants into legendary figures such as Joan of Arc, Guan Yu, Lovecraft, and Siegfried. Each run takes place in a changing roguelike setting where luck affects the available possibilities. The main challenge is defending against endless enemy waves by building unit combinations with strong synergy. Runs focus on pushing further and pursuing higher scores, with unit evolution providing the central progression between ordinary troops and exceptional heroes from different periods and fictional worlds.
