Gameplay
This is a tower defense game. So, your objective is to defend the tower (which looks like a castle).
Enemies will spawn from one side of the screen (or sometimes both). The will completely ignore you, because their job is to take down your castle.
It's up to you wipe them out and keep your castle safe. Because if the castle goes down, so do you.
Watch the How To Play animation ingame for more information.
Game modes
There are 4 different game modes to play; two of them must be unlocked first. Below is a description of each:
- Arcade Defense - Standard mode. Go through many different stages, defending your castle in each.
- Endless Defense - As the name implies, this mode is virtually endless. Swarms of enemies keep coming and coming.
- King Defense - Must beat Arcade Defense to unlock.
- Extreme Defense - Must beat Arcade Defense to unlock.
This game is also 4 players by default. So, grab a friend or two and jump in.
Characters
There are 11 different characters to choose from, and players can't play as identical characters (ie, only one player can be Roy etc).
Each have differing power and ability; play around with all of them and find one that fits you.
Tips
Don't kill your own castle. Remember that calling for reinforcements takes away 1/4 of the castles HP; so, if the castle has less than that, calling for backup will in fact destroy the castle.
Prioritize your enemies. Enemies have differing movement speeds, attack speeds, attack power, and health. Make certain enemies higher priority, and take them out first.
Learn when to use your attacks. Most Heavy Attacks can take out weaker enemies in one hit, but the lag time before you can move/attack again is longer. That could be costly to the castle, as other enemies will have time to attack while you're still showing off your moves.
Don't give up. There is always a way to win, even if it seems impossible. This game requires a lot of on-the-fly strategy, but pull it off and it'll be rewarding.
Controls
This mod uses the attack1, attack2, and special buttons.
A description of what each does:
- Attack1 - Light Attack. Weak, but quick.
- Attack2 - Call for reinforcements. Takes 1/4 of the castles HP to use (6 seconds cooldown).
- Special - Heavy Attack. Flashier, slower, and usually stronger or longer in range.
Remember to set these controls in Options > Control Options > Setup Player #.
