Gods of Defense is a Roguelike Tower Defense game set on a procedurally generated map.


Hotkeys:

WASD - Pan camera

QE - Rotate camera

Tab - Cycle through time fast forward

Space or P - Pause/Resume game


The God of your choosing stands atop a temple at the center of the map. The corrupted enemies are trying to destroy the temple in waves. After every wave you get to banish the enemy gates further from the temple, thus revealing more of the map. You have to banish these gates all the way to the Cave of their origin. The victory is achieved when you have destroyed all the Caves.

After successfully defending against number of waves you are awarded Boons that give you more options - new Towers, bulk upgrades, temporary advantages. The choices you make lead to a unique defense strategy.

In addition to Gold you also earn Faith when you kill enemies. Faith is a permanent currency that you can use to unlock several improvements.

The enemy offensive is not just limited to attack on the Temple. Some enemies corrupt the towers as they pass by them. When Corruption exceeds certain limit, you have to absolve it by accepting one of the presented Curses.

In addition to standard weapon towers, you can also kill enemy with more style by summoning Tornadoes. You will also face natural calamities like Rain, Snowstorm, Earthquakes, Thunderstorms. Some of them will help you, while others will make your job difficult. But all will be enjoyable.

Overall GoD offers you multitudes of recipes to build a delicious strategy.

[The game is still in early stage of development. Your feedback is welcome.]

This is a very fun game, even in this unfinished state.
The graphics are amazing and I am genuinely surprised it runs so well on a browser.
The upgrading mechanics are honestly pretty good for a tower defense game.

I do agree with some that the gameplay loop/mechanics can be a bit repetitive.
I find the Curse/Blessing system to be cool, but also a bit obtuse; It takes me a few minutes to figure out/remember how it works every time I play the game. Might I suggest a little explainer window that pops up when you hover over the meter?
I haven't been able to get to any of the harder waves yet, but if I remember from the last time I played, it was fun, it was a, to me, reasonable amount of harshness and difficulty. The only thing I didn't like was that it took so long to get to that point.

This one of the best tower defense games I've ever played. I don't know if you abandoned this version of the game for the steam version, but please see this game through! It has potential!

Are any of the "coming soon" features ever, in fact, coming?

OK, Finished it.

The corruption mechanic is terribly broken. Like at wave 14 I had so many stacks of corruption that literally the whole map was a heal zone and it wiped most of my towers. Thats simply unacceptably harsh.

meh, It's repetitive and boring
