Still the best Tower Defense game ever created

Tower Defense + RPG.

Good fun, would love to see more games like this. Luckily, part 2 is coming soon (tm)!

It's relaxing but gets pretty challenging later on. You can go back to earlier missions to play them on a harder difficulty for bonus loot, and you still get a pretty decent chunk of xp and loot if you fail a hard mission, so there is plenty to do to progress if the main storyline gets too hard.

The 6 towers each have a strong identity, further reinforced by their skill tree. They can each equip one weapon and one piece of armor, boosting either their attack or defense (some monsters fight back!). I haven't seen any equipment with any special benefits, though, and the skill trees don't give you that significant of a choice, but the new abilities you get at certain thresholds are fun and there are interesting passives too.

Pretty fun and difficult TD
