Defence of Nythrial
SteamDefence of Nythrial is a 2D, Top down, Tower Defence / Real Time Strategy Game.
Across the world of Nythrial crystal cores are being attacked by hordes of vile enemies.
Rallying your forces you must construct various towers and emplacements, and train units to defend against waves of incoming hostile mobs.

The player must balance their economy with three different resources Gold, Mana, and Food.
These resources are needed in order to build more towers, emplacements, and units, as well as purchase upgrades and use certain abilities.

The courier collects items from the battlefield and returns them to your crystal core.
Items in your inventory can be sold for resources or tactically equipped on your units, boosting their stats and capabilities.

A great commander must balance their choice of towers and emplacements between offence and defence, support and economy, as well as unit production.
Combat between units involves damage types, armor, critical hits, blocking, dodging, and absorbing incoming attacks, status effects, and many different special abilities.

Survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies using your tactics to defend your crystal core until the end of the final wave to claim victory.
