Stop the Blight

Stop the Blight is a tower defense rogue-lite in which you shape the battlefield and defend the realm from an ancient evil. As a Guardian of the Arcanum, you build towers, cast spells and reshape terrain to push back the spreading Blight and stop it at its source.

Shape the battlefield

Raise, lower or level voxel terrain to build walls, carve chokepoints and claim high ground. Use the landscape to direct enemy movement and plan your defenses, but adapt as the Blight spreads and enemies change their tactics. Defenses do not last forever, and the Blight damages any towers it overtakes. Some enemies spread the corruption as they move, so you must clear infected ground and hold your territory to avoid being consumed.

Use runes and spells

Discover elemental runes in different rarities. They can apply effects such as Burn, Slow, Poison and Mark, or boost stats including damage, range and health. Mix and match runes to find synergies and shape your strategy each run. You can choose from 6 elemental Cores, each with its own starting towers and spells, and build with 18 towers, cast 18 spells and experiment with 30+ runes.

Face changing missions

Missions are procedurally generated, with new terrain layouts, enemy combinations and challenges each time. Some maps offer natural chokepoints and high ground, while others require you to carve out your own defenses. The Blight spreads and enemies adapt as battles unfold. The game includes 6 biomes, each with unique terrain and a deadly mini-boss.

Progress between runs

Collect Arcane Shards to unlock permanent upgrades that carry over after defeat. These upgrades can enhance your Core, strengthen towers, improve spellcasting and influence your luck. Choose upgrades such as more health, better runes or a second chance, and begin each run with lasting progress.
