Games Like Lairs & Lordships

In most tower defense games, you protect the fortress. Here, you are the horde at its gates.

Lairs & Lordships is a single-player reverse tower defense strategy game set in a dark fantasy world. Assemble an army of monsters, divide it into waves, deploy each formation, and send your creatures against human walls, towers, defenders, and commanders.

Every battle begins with a plan. Combine sturdy front lines, ranged support, magic, and siege specialists. There is no universal army: each fortress and region demands a different approach.
