Castle Defense

About Castle Defense

A castle under siege with a spellbook as the entire defence. Waves of enemies arrive, you answer with magic, and beating them feeds back into stronger magic. That loop is the only structure the publisher commits to, which leaves the whole game standing on how good the spells turn out to feel.

How to play

• Hold your castle against successive waves of enemies.
• Cast spells to destroy what is attacking.
• Surviving increases your magical power, so the loop is defend, strengthen, defend again.
• The publisher frames the whole kingdom as riding on the castle, so the castle is the thing that can be lost.

Tips

• Wave defence pays for spending power on the wave after next rather than the one already on screen. If the current wave is handled, bank the attention.
• Power growth is tied to destroying enemies, so playing safe costs you scaling. Work out early how hard you can afford to push.
