Aegis Legends

Aegis Legends combines tower defence with wave-survival action shooting. Play alone or team up with others to develop strategies and compete for high scores on the survival leaderboards. Enemies do not arrive in separate waves: they keep coming, growing gradually harder until you can no longer survive and your strategy fails.

Build and evolve towers

You can adjust the range, damage, rate, critical chance and critical damage of projectile-based towers at each tower level. The game has 12 tower types, each with three levels and an alternative evolved form, for 68 towers in total. Evolutions change what towers do: for example, you can turn rocket towers into nuke towers, sacrifice coin generators to heal your base, or make towers resistant to certain enemy types. You can inspect each tower’s stats, owner, range and upgrade effects by clicking it, and configure shortcut keys for building, upgrading and evolving.

Survive the enemy onslaught

As you last longer, new bosses appear. Each has a distinct ability, such as boosting speed, protecting enemies or distracting with skulls. You also face various types of air units. Fight in the Forest, Desert or indoor crypts, with a visual day-and-night cycle, rain and thunder. Lifts, levels that change dynamically and flame walls add interactive elements to the environments.

Customize your character

At the start of each game, you spend a skill point to shape your character. Every 1,000 kills earns another point, which you can put into movement speed, reduced reload speed, lower building costs or magazine size. As you gain experience and levels, you unlock characters, abilities and magical powers. Abilities include slow dome, teleporter, dash, barriers, critical chance and a coin collector; magical powers include golem smash, ice block, heal base, character rage and a tower damage boost.

Choose how to fight

Spend coins at the vendor on weapons instead of towers, or combine shooting with tower defence. The available weapons are a pistol, rifle, shotgun, laser, railgun, flame thrower and sword, alongside grenades, mines and air strikes. You can focus on towers, guns or a hybrid strategy, and decide how to spend resources between tower stats, tower levels and upgrades.

Modes and leaderboards

Survival scores appear on worldwide leaderboards, and the game also includes competitive mini-games spanning shooters, mazes and timed challenges. Each mini-game has its own leaderboard, including challenges to be the fastest builder or runner.

Statistics and achievements

After each game, you receive a unique link to a statistics page where you can examine the numbers from that attempt. You can mark your statistics private before starting a game. In-game achievement progress shows how close you are to unlocking characters, while experience unlocks further characters, abilities and magical powers.
