Synopsis

See Main Article: The Story

Long Ago, Etheria was once a land of living legends… Throughout the ages, brave warriors across the realm stood together against the forces of evil, led by immortal beings known as the Old Ones… After a titanic struggle, these champions locked away the power of the Old Ones, inside Eternia Crystals…

These legendary heroes have recently left their younger kin in charge of the common castle chores… Bored with their dreary duties, the inexperienced pupils decide to play… And accidentally unleash an ancient force that has long been dormant!

Tower Defense Meets Action RPG

Choose your class, customize your character & equipment, strategically assemble your defenses, and participate directly in action-packed battle to preserve your castle against the invading horde!

Almost Perfect Online and Local Play

Distinct Heroes

Each character class has a unique balance and set of weapons, towers, and special abilities, for a different style of gameplay.

Loot, Level, And Destroy!

See Main Articles: Mana, Weapons, Armor

Grab the mounds of mana and items that your defeated foes drop, trade them or store them for later use in your Item Box! Getting kills and completing waves earns you experience points, which can be used to upgrade your character, your skills, your equipment, and your towers on a per-statistic basis – do you want to enhance Hit Points, Attack Rate, Damage, etc.? The choices are yours to make. Store your massive overflow of money in the Mana Bank, and then spend it to improve your equipment or trade with other players. Proudly show off your best equipment in your own Adventurer’s Tavern, without fear of item theft!

Endless Waves of Evil Creatures

See Main Article: Creatures

Over 100 simultaneous enemies will attempt to tear through your defenses, and at key points gigantic boss monsters will appear to rain down havoc upon everyone. Only by employing the most effective defensive strategies, teamwork, and strong characters will you defeat such devilish foes! Many enemy types, running the gamut from big dumb orcs swinging huge axes, to sly lithe dark elves striking from the shadows with bow & arrow, to crazy kobolds armed with explosive packs. Unique boss monsters provide set-piece battles, among them the gargantuan Ancient Dragon and a cantankerous Goblin Mech.

Variety of Levels And Challenges

Each level has a different visual setting, layout, enemy types, traps, and distinct scripted surprises. Four difficulty settings from novice to master, which also adjust the rate of experience and loot earned. Storybook-style cinematics tell the tale throughout the Campaign Mode, and endings vary depending on which characters were used. Survival Mode pits increasing waves of enemies against the players until they fall, with the goal being to defend long enough to achieve the highest leaderboard score. Challenge Mode allows players to play any level with uniquely altered rule sets and goals!

Mountains Of Rewards And Awards
