Every run is a different defense
Towers of Ruin is a roguelite tower defense. Ancient towers wake up in the ruins of a lost kingdom, and every 30-minute run asks you to build a new defense out of whatever the cards give you. Level up, pick a card, evolve a tower into something stronger, and get ready for the next armored wave. In the end, four final bosses come for you.
36 mythic towers
No plain arrow towers here. A phoenix dives through the horde, a thunder god calls down lightning, a void tower pulls enemies into a black hole, a golem hurls stone, a dragon breathes fire. Every tower has its own way of fighting and its own evolution.
Evolve with cards
Every level-up offers three cards: 48 blessings and 15 risky curses that can power you up or ruin you. Combine them, evolve your towers mid-run and find a build that has never existed before.
Read the waves
- Armor phases: enemies change armor during the run, so the right damage type matters.
- 50+ enemy types and four final bosses waiting at the end of the clock.
- Active powers: drop a meteor, freeze the field or call reinforcements when the line breaks.
- Day and night, plus giant creatures sleeping in the heart of the Caldera and the Frozen Vale.
