Hearthguard is a tactical tower defense game that rewards clever pathing, smart placement, and flexible strategy.
Build mazes, manage your resources, and defend against endless waves of enemies on a battlefield made of tiles. The map tiles can be different every time you play, so you’ll need to adapt your tactics each run.
You place units and towers to build your defense, each with a unique role:
Your towers can become stronger or weaker depending on where you place them. Tiles and nearby towers give different bonuses and penalties, so careful positioning is key.
At the start of each run, you choose a hero. Each hero gives different bonuses that can change how you play.
Whether you're planning the perfect maze, creating strong tower combinations, or reacting to surprise enemy attacks, Hearthguard is all about using your brain to stay one step ahead.
