Your empire faces relentless invasions from the savage Artronids, threatening its very existence. As Commander, you are the last line of defense against the deadly enemy onslaught. In this endlessly replayable experience, every battle presents fresh challenges with unpredictable outcomes. Build the ENEMY PATH Take control of the battlefield by shaping the very ground your enemies march on. Expand and modify terrain tiles to create choke points, forcing enemies into lethal artillery fire or luring them into carefully laid traps. Height and pathing are your greatest weapons—use them wisely to dictate the flow of battle and secure victory. Factions & HEROES Each faction brings its own arsenal to the battlefield, featuring unique biomes, towers, and strategies. Their distinct playstyles shape how you build defenses, deploy units, and control the fight. With 10 unique heroes per faction, each possessing their own strengths and abilities, there are always new tactics to discover and strategies to master. Adapting to WARFARE War is unpredictable, but true Commanders adapt. After each wave, select from a set of upgrades and rewards to reinforce your strategy. Assess enemy strengths and weaknesses, adjusting your defenses to counter their advance. No two battles end the same way, as each new tile placement forces you to plan one step ahead. Endless DISCOVERY There's a wide variety of content to unlock as you progress through the game. Heroes are earned through achievements, building upgrades are discovered, and the Codex is packed with secrets to uncover. With four difficulty levels, an endless 'Frontier Mode', and every playthrough offering new challenges, Tower Dominion provides a highly replayable experience. Survival depends on constant innovation and adaptation. Every alien wave is a unique combination of Artronids that will test your ability to adapt. Are you ready to employ innovative tactics, build impregnable defenses and hold the line? Commander, your troops await your orders! Play Tower Dominion GO for FREE and WITHOUT ADS! Play as much as you want, without any restriction. Then you can unlock the full content of the game with 1 single in-app purchase. No timers or virtual currency required!
