Alongside

Alongside is a 2D tower defense strategy game in which you protect a kingdom from waves of orcs, goblins and other monsters. You place units on tracks, gather food to recruit more fighters and use a hero’s abilities when the defense is under pressure. To finish the game, you must defeat the final boss in the last level.

Defend the tracks

Each unit has its own attacking or defensive abilities and can only act on the track where you place it. Enemies arrive in waves that grow larger and stronger as you advance. Later levels let you acquire stronger units to counter armored enemies. If a monster reaches the end of a track for a second time in a level, you lose.

A fairy-tale world

The game’s world is inhabited by animals, and its 2D visuals are hand-drawn. Weapons and other elements share the same fairy-tale style.

Heroes and progression

As you progress, you gain access to new levels and unique heroes with their own abilities.
