Our take on The Hero We Need
Its defining structure is individual tower creation: runes establish each projectile and its effects, while upgrades can be limited to selected components before testing the result in a quick battle.
What is The Hero We Need?
Create towers individually by selecting runes that define each projectile and its effects.
Upgrade only the tower components needed for a chosen approach, then test tower setups in a quick battle mode. The game centers on experimenting with custom tower construction and adapting strategies to different play styles. Its structure combines tower creation, selective enhancement, and short battles rather than presenting a fixed set of predefined towers.
