Our take on Save the settlers
Rather than relying on towers alone, this defense game also uses soldiers with distinct combat roles, magic, and spikes. Its enemy waves include creatures that fly, attack from range, or split into smaller foes, changing the threats the defenses must address.
What is Save the settlers?
Defend a settlement against waves of creatures in this tower defense game.
Towers are joined by soldiers with different roles: some attack at range, others heal allies or slow enemies. Magic can damage or slow approaching creatures, while spikes provide another way to hinder them. Enemy types vary, including flying attackers, ranged attackers, and creatures that split into several weaker enemies. The game’s defense relies on choosing among these tools as different kinds of enemies approach.
