Geometric roguelike tower defense where each wave gives you random tower cards — pick, place, adapt, and survive across varied maps and modifiers.
Overview
PolyDefend is a geometric roguelike tower defense where every run plays differently. Between waves you receive five random tower cards, choose two, place them, and try to protect your core as enemies arrive.
How it plays
- Between waves you are offered 5 random tower cards; pick 2 and place them.
- 16 tower types with distinct roles (examples include chain lightning, vortex pulls, poison clouds, and tesla fields).
- Branching upgrades: at max level choose between two upgrade paths that change tower behavior.
Modes & systems
- 10 story levels with unique maps, core positions, and portals; terminal-style narrative briefings before missions.
- Endless Mode: infinite procedural waves with scaling difficulty and a Top 10 leaderboard.
- Combo system: chain kills for score multipliers up to 10x.
- Two active abilities: Prismatic Burst (supercharges towers) and Core Shield (detonates for area damage).
- Wave modifiers like Fog, Frenzy, Armored, Chaos, and more that alter encounters.
Enemies
- 11 enemy types and 6 bosses, including swarms, tanks, flyers that ignore walls, stealth units, healers, and rotating polygon bosses.
