Cat Guardian

Cat Guardian is a card-based game that combines tower defense with survival mechanics. You build strategies by combining Guardians, Item Cards and Combat Cards, then place cards in real time to defend against zombies. The game has a Challenge Mode with battle levels and a Survival Mode focused on exploration, resource gathering and protecting the Tree of Hope.

Challenge mode

Challenge Mode has 25 battle levels across five types of maps, each with its own mechanics. Nighttime levels are more dangerous and harder to see through. Levels also include special terrain events, such as forest traps and monsters attacking from lakes.

You unlock Cat Heroes, Item Cards and Combat Cards as you progress. The game offers over 300 cards, including nearly 100 Combat Cards, over 20 zombie cards and more than 80 Item Cards. Cards have different abilities, attack ranges and effects, and victory depends on choosing and positioning them to suit the zombies and terrain. You can replay levels to collect all the fish snacks and earn full stars.

Survival mode

In Survival Mode, you explore using cat cards and interact with randomly encountered scene cards to gather resources and complete daily collection tasks. You can keep important resources and sell those you do not need yet. Use your wealth in the shop to build battle cards for defending the Tree of Hope, including cards for training cats, improving their living conditions and wealth accumulation, blocking zombies, and dealing different types of damage.

At night, zombies with different abilities attack from all directions, seeking to destroy the Tree of Hope and turn the Meowx planet into a zombie planet. You can train cats with different abilities, surround the Tree of Hope with walls, or build weapons to attack. As you accumulate wealth, you can upgrade the Tree of Hope so cats can explore farther and gather more valuable resources.

Events and progression

Bad weather makes survival harder for cats, so you need to prepare by building functional structures. If cat plague spreads through the village, cats begin to die and you must find a cure to save it. Random events can include daytime zombie ambushes, rare encounters that grant a rare card, or a temple where you can gain magical powers.

A mysterious merchant arrives on the Meowx planet after a certain amount of time, bringing magical cards to trade for gold coins. The card and zombie encyclopedia provides information about the characteristics of over 200 different cards in the game. You can restart after completing levels or failing and try different strategies.
