Our take on Tower Wars
Rather than keeping tower defense purely defensive, Tower Wars adds real-time unit production and attack waves, making each player manage both a maze of towers and an assault against the opponent.
What is Tower Wars?
Tower Wars combines tower defense and real-time strategy in competitive multiplayer matches.
Online games support ranked and unranked 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 formats. Players build and upgrade towers to create mazes for incoming enemy units, then assemble, upgrade, and deploy specialized units in large attack waves. Technology upgrades raise unit and tower statistics or add functions to them. Online features include matchmaking, leaderboards, achievements, and stat tracking. Offline classic tower defense maps provide Time Trial play for shorter sessions. The game presents these mechanics in a humorous old-world style.
