Our take on Spell Defender
The defining structure is the post-wave selection system: each completed wave offers a new spell, passive, or enhancement, turning survival into a series of build decisions.
What is Spell Defender?
Spell Defender is a 3D third-person survival roguelite centered on surviving waves of attacking creatures.
Magical powers are used to defeat the enemies, while each wave is followed by a choice of reward. Options include new spells, passive abilities, and enhancements, which can be combined to create different synergies during a run. After death, coins are awarded and can be spent on permanent character upgrades for later playthroughs. The vendor lists planned additions of new levels, game modes, spells, challenges, and achievements.
