Monster Defense
Challenging base-builder survival map.Defend for 30 minutes against hordes of monsters! Select from one of 3 unique races and use their unique structures and units to survive! Progress through your races tech tree to unlock more powerful units and structures. Arm yourself in preparation for the final boss.
Striking a balance between investing in your economy and investing in your defenses is very important throughout the game. Mismanage your economy and you won't have enough funds to support your defense as the difficulty increases, but invest too much into defense and you won't be able to reach the powerful technologies required to survive the final boss.
The game is designed to be difficult. Most players won't last more than a few minutes in their first game. Victory is hard fought. Good luck!

- Dwarven Kingdoms, Druidic Groves, Goblin Tinkers, Blood Elf Citystates, and Cults of Necromancers!
- More coming soon!

- Advanced monster priority system, giving each player an equal number of monsters and their own unique bosses to defend against.

- Codeless save & load system to track kills and victories.
- Kills and victories used to unlock more advanced races.
- Terrain with over 35 bases of varying shape and size.

A nice altered melee/vampiris-tree tag defense map that pretty much relies extensively on Warcraft III default material.
Maybe you could add more game modes or something for more gameplay variety.

Great game, the learning curve is perfect, it's starts super simple, but as you go it gets more complex. I also like how you experience-gate the more complicated night-elf race, so you have at least some game knowledge before reaching it. Kills unlocking extra content makes it a lot of to play again and adds something to build towards beyond your single run.
The night elf race was really really unique, but not like overly stupid-complex. I thought it was really well designed. Once you get the basic idea, it's a lot of fun. The dwarven race is also good, simple and straight forward.
So I really like everything so far, my main criticism is the wave stuff is kinda one-note. There's just a bunch of units being thrown at you, it's hard to tell which is stronger or which has a different mechanic. The bosses are cool though, they are strong but they give you a little window to react. Another thing that would be cool is progression with your builder unit. You gain exp, but you don't really feel like it's building towards anything. I know there's upgrades, but everyone likes feeling multiple fronts of progression.
Anyways excited to see where you take this game.

So I really like everything so far, my main criticism is the wave stuff is kinda one-note. There's just a bunch of units being thrown at you, it's hard to tell which is stronger or which has a different mechanic. The bosses are cool though, they are strong but they give you a little window to react. Another thing that would be cool is progression with your builder unit. You gain exp, but you don't really feel like it's building towards anything. I know there's upgrades, but everyone likes feeling multiple fronts of progression.
Anyways excited to see where you take this game.

Had lots of fun playing alone, really like the pacing of the map.

One of the best base defenses i ever played and i playing all of the from the reighn of chaos. Amazing balance, GENIUS races and their mechanics, tried just gnomes and night elfes for now. Will play with friends and wait for update. Thank you so much for your work.

Thanks so much for the high praise. I try my hardest to strike the perfect balance of challenge and create really unique races.

Like it quite a lot, reminds me of Infection Attack. It would be great if you could rebuild your starting building if lost however, it would let people build shanty towns outside your walls after they lose their main base. That was one of the most fun parts of Infection Attack, leading to us calling it "shitty serfdoms" frequently.

One of the most fun games I've played recently.
