Dreadful Defenders
SteamChoose an ancient deity to worship and use its power to defeat the unbelievers. Find Relics with eldritch abilities. Summon dreadful Defenders with unique traits, control the path by placing them, and combine their Benedictions to create otherworldly synergies!
Offer souls to your god to draft three unique Defenders, each with a random Blessing. Choose one to summon.

Sacrifice a Defender to transfer one of its Blessings to the upgraded one.

The path grows by one tile every wave, and every Defender you place influences in which direction it will grow next.

Defeat Elite Enemies to reclaim Relics crafted by the old gods.

Some blessings and relics, when put together... break the game in beautiful ways.

[This clip is from a fairly older version, but it gives a very good idea of the stupid things that can be done so we're using it for now.]
Each map has a unique boss that will grow stronger every time you face them.
[Our boss still has placeholder visuals, we'll update the description with a new .gif as soon as it is done.]
