Defense&Making is a tile-based strategy game where you become the Demon Lord and design your own dungeon to fight off invading enemies.

From the path enemies take, to where traps are placed and which monsters are summoned—every tactical decision is in your hands.

Each element works together to create your own unique defense strategy.

Design your dungeon by arranging paths, traps, and tiles. Intruders will follow the routes you lay out, and traps will hinder their advance. Create the most lethal dungeon possible and overwhelm your foes.

Summon monsters and place traps to stop intruders. Traps are powerful but limited, while monsters spawn endlessly yet consume your dungeon’s mana. Manage both resources wisely to maximize your defense.

Research upgrades to enhance your monsters, dungeons, and traps. Each monster and tile can be reinforced in unique ways, making your dungeon deadlier over time. Intruders cannot grow stronger—but you can.

Customize your deck however you like. At shops, you can purchase items and adjust your deck. Special card-selection pages appear each round, allowing you to add or remove powerful cards strategically.

A variety of characters will appear, each with their own stories. Dialogue choices influence outcomes, adding layers of narrative and unexpected events. Who will become your ally, and who will turn out to be your enemy?

Defense & Making doesn’t have a single correct solution.

How you build your dungeon—and how you choose to stop the invaders—is entirely your own.

Instead of chasing the perfect defense we hope you’ll enjoy adapting to new challenges and finding your own unique way to overcome them.
