In a fantasy setting, you choose a hero to help protect Etheria’s Eternia Crystal from waves of attacking enemies. Play alone or team up with as many as three other players.
Between enemy waves, build defenses such as blockades, towers, traps, and auras to guard the crystal. When the attack begins, fight in third person alongside those defenses, switching heroes to use their distinct abilities and structures.
Waves reward you with loot and experience to develop your heroes and equipment. You can customize your characters and defenses, and work through increasingly difficult stages.
Reviews that enjoy the game often point to its mix of tower building and direct combat, the appeal of returning to the series, and the rewarding loop of earning gear and improving heroes. Some also appreciate playing co-op with friends and quality-of-life changes. Views are mixed: alongside praise for the core gameplay, players frequently report bugs and online instability, and some find the available content or progression disappointing compared with other entries.
