Waveguard

Waveguard is a roguelike tower defense where every run is built around powerful synergies. Assemble your team of towers, strengthen it with formidable artifacts, and hold out against increasingly dangerous waves of enemies.

At the start of each run, your defenses are still fragile and only one question matters: how will you survive this time? Place your towers, make the most of their strengths, adjust their targeting, and gradually turn your strategy into a true war machine. A bouncing projectile, a perfectly timed elemental effect, a thriving economy, or an unexpected combination of artifacts can completely change the course of a run.

Make your choices in the shop between waves. Buy a new tower, increase your damage, prioritize speed, reinforce your defenses, or prepare a riskier combination: every decision can bring you closer to victory… or leave you vulnerable to the next assault. Raw power is not enough—you will need to make the most of what the game offers and build a coherent strategy to prevail.

Choose the game mode that suits you. In Story mode, progress through handcrafted maps and waves until the final victory. In Endless mode, survive for as long as possible on procedurally generated maps against ever more fearsome waves. Discover a new map every five waves, face powerful bosses, and accept cursed artifacts capable of turning the rules of the run upside down.

Explore a pixel-art world made up of varied zones, each populated by enemies and bosses with their own unique traits. The further you progress, the tougher the challenges become: enemies grow more powerful, bosses exploit weaknesses in your defenses, and higher difficulty levels demand increasingly precise choices.

Waveguard combines the clarity of tower defense with the replayability of a roguelike: fast-paced runs, frequent decisions, a collection to complete, and the constant urge to start over with a new team composition.
