Gotchi Guardians

Gotchi Guardians is a multiplayer roguelite tower defense game for eight players. You build defenses to protect your Guardian from waves of Licks while countering other players and adapting to unpredictable events. The match continues until one Guardian remains.

Guardians and talents

Six Guardians are available, each with a different playstyle: the Knight reflects damage dealt by attackers; the Farmer buffs towers with apple juice and distracts enemies with inflatable decoys; and the Soldier of Fortune earns bonus income by acting quickly, taking damage or cashing out at the right moment. The other Guardians are the Pirate, the Archer and the magic Shaaman. You earn XP as you play and unlock unique talents for each Guardian.

Events and upgrades

Dynamic events let players choose which towers to unlock, how many more enemies everyone faces and what upgrades the enemy Licks receive. These can include exploding gas tanks and super-sticky giant bullets for Steady Lads. Event choices grant Income, Items and Upgrade Seeds, which unlock tower evolutions. Every five-round day ends with a rampage by a powerful Boss Lick.

Maps and hazards

Each map has its own landmarks, mechanics and surprise events that can change how you defend against the Licks:

• Prong Meadow: Toggle a central bridge, for a price, to block enemy paths or open new ones. Events can reroute the horde from below.
• Rickety River: Defend a central island between two bridges, and decide which one gets the moving crab tower platform next.
• Mount Oomf: Deal with lava, landslides and the Fomosaurus, a mythical dinosaur that attacks Licks and Guardians. You can pay to spawn stronger versions of it that attack everyone.

Seasonal rewards

You earn Stars and Star Dust through play to climb seasonal leaderboards. Surviving longer and placing higher can unlock G-Bucks, cosmetics and other rewards at the end of the season.
