Defend the sky road in Starfall Bastion, an offline single-player tower defense game set among floating crystal keeps and falling stars. Build towers, read the corners, spend shards carefully, and stop each wave before it reaches the gate. Every battle is designed for quick strategy sessions where one better tower placement, upgrade, or tactical tool can turn the fight around. Choose from five tower lines: - Crystal Lance for fast single-target beams - Ember Mortar for heavy splash damage - Storm Spire for long-range cleanup - Frost Obelisk for slowing dangerous waves - Nova Prism for dense corner bursts
