Cropisle TD

Cropisle TD is a card-based roguelite that combines farming and tower defense. You play as a farmer sent to a deserted island, where you grow crops and build defense towers to protect your food from small animals that attack every night. A playthrough offers at least 5–8 hours of gameplay, with two major game modes.

Farm and defend

During each cycle, you farm and prepare your defenses before facing the nightly attacks. When a defense phase ends, you can exchange your harvest for points in the store and spend them to unlock and upgrade towers and crops. Each round lasts around 10–15 minutes.

Random combinations of cards, land plots and enemies make each round unpredictable. Towers and crop cards have individual tech trees, and deck management lets you adjust the probability of drawing cards during battle. The game also grants random island modules periodically; building them extends the enemies’ route while increasing the area available for planting and construction.

Shape your island

Each cycle rewards you with a new island plot, which you can use to plan your route and expand your farmland. Before confirming a build, you can rotate and move the island to change its path and orientation. Difficulty and rewards scale with the complexity of the route, with higher risks offering greater returns.

Different land plots and crops give towers adjacency bonuses. These effects can stack, allowing for different layouts to suit your combat style. You can also link up with deserted islands and stranded islanders across the ocean, turning the islands into an oasis, rescuing the people and earning additional rewards.

Buildings and enemies

The game includes 17 unique buildings, 15 types of land plots and 8 enemy types, each with unique mechanics. Towers and crops can be unlocked and upgraded without excessive grinding.
