Set before the events that threaten the kingdom, this fantasy tower defense game puts you in command of elven forces defending forests, faery realms, and ancient ruins from invading enemies.
Across a series of maps, place towers to stop advancing waves, then upgrade them into specialized branches. Build around four tower styles—archers, barracks, magic, and artillery—and use heroes, lightning, and other spells to respond to threats.
Choose a difficulty and take on Classic, Iron, or Heroic stages, with additional challenges and boss battles. Heroes can be upgraded, and an in-game encyclopedia provides information on enemies and towers.
Players often enjoy the strategic tower defense, hero abilities, and the game’s colorful fantasy presentation, with some also praising its creative levels and hidden references. Opinions differ on difficulty and how well the towers are balanced; recurring criticisms include repetitive play and achievements that require tedious repetition.
