Path Defenders

Path Defenders is a single-player MMORPG in tower defense form. As raid leader and front-line fighter, you recruit a party of heroes, place them for battle and join real-time 3D combat against waves of enemies and bosses.

Lead your party

Each hero fills an MMORPG-style role: tank, healer, DPS or support. Heroes have their own abilities, strengths and gaps, so you can build combinations that cover one another. You can stay behind the walls to defend the castle, or leave your heroes to hold the line while you explore for extra rewards. The fight continues while you are away, and the situation may change before you return.

Fight and progress

You build towers, command units and cast spells while fighting alongside your troops. Defeated monsters drop experience; when you level up, you can choose and upgrade weapons or passive stats. A run usually asks you to survive enemy waves for 15 to 30 minutes, and you can stay with your party or venture out to search for more rewards.

Gold collected during runs can be spent from the main menu on permanent stats and power-ups for future attempts. As you explore and win more levels, you unlock additional abilities, units and towers. You can also refund skill-tree upgrades for free and try a different build.

Towers and elements

You start with basic Fire and Ice towers, with more towers available beyond them. A complex elemental system shapes which towers and spells you bring to each fight.
