TheLastTower

Read full description

Build towers. Create mazes. Survive the endless battle. Enter the battlefield and build your own defense! Start with basic towers, then evolve them into six elemental paths: Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark. Every tower has its own upgrades and specialization. Combine different elements, optimize tower placement, and create deadly mazes to keep enemies under fire for as long as possible. But be careful! If you completely block the path, enemies won't simply stop. They will attack the towers blocking their way until they can find a new route. Face increasingly dangerous waves of enemies, from normal troops and fast runners to armored, regenerating, flying, and invisible enemies. High-level enemies can combine multiple traits, forcing you to adapt your strategy and tower setup. Every 10 waves, a powerful Boss enters the battlefield. There is no fixed path. There is no wave limit. Only your strategy stands between you and defeat. How far can you survive?
