About this game
The Tower - Idle Tower Defense is a strategic idle game where players defend against waves of enemies by placing and upgrading towers. The core loop involves managing resources and research to enhance defensive capabilities over long, continuous runs. Players praise the strategic depth and unlockable content, but criticize the slow progression and pay-to-win monetization that heavily favors spending.
