Ghouls & Guardians
SteamA DARK STRATEGY FOR SURVIVAL
In Ghouls & Guardians, humanity clings to sacred ground, fending off waves of corrupted creatures that stalk the night. As the last line of defense, you must build, manage, and adapt — or be overrun.
Inspired by classic RTS and tower defense experiences, this game blends medieval dark fantasy, resource management, and strategic tower synergy into an intense tactical challenge.

BUILD, GATHER, DEFEND
⚒️ Harvest wood, stone, and iron to expand your defenses
🏗️ Deploy towers and barracks in real-time
🧙♂️ Combine elemental damage types to trigger powerful condition effects:
Fire → Burnt
Ice → Frozen
Magic → Enchanted
Activate synergies to deal bonus damage and turn the tide against the ghouls.

FACE THE HORDE
The temple must stand — but it won’t be easy. Ghouls come in many forms, from swarming minions to monstrous threats like the Boomwight, which explodes on death and destroys weakened towers nearby.
🛡️ Defend workers and guardians.
⛏️ Lose your economy, and you lose the war.
🔥 Survive up to 50 waves of escalating attacks.

NEW CHALLENGES EACH RUN
With its evolving maps, unlockable skills, and strategic choices, Ghouls & Guardians offers replayable gameplay that rewards smart combinations and bold decisions. Whether you're placing your first tower or pushing back the 50th wave, every match is a test of wit and will.
💀 Can you hold the line when the night comes?
