Overview of The Tower – Idle Tower Defense
The gameplay is so simple of this game. There will be a hexagonal-shaped tower at the center of the screen that can shoot projectiles in a certain radius circle around itself. The enemies will come in waves to destroy you. You will have to defend your tower from them. When the enemies come into the attacking range, the tower will shoot them automatically.
By killing the enemies, you will get cash. Use that cash to upgrade the tower’s attack stats, defense stats, and utilities to make it stronger & powerful to face enemies. With each wave, the number of enemies and their HP & ATK Power increases. It shows the basic enemy’s HP & ATK Power beside the wave number. For other types of enemies, read the following section.
Many players find it so hard to clear the higher waves. It takes so many tries and upgrades to get past the previously reached wave. The overwhelming number of enemies destroy your tower with ease.
You will also get coins by killing enemies other than basic enemies and clearing waves. You can use them to permanently upgrade the tower’s stats in the workshop. It will not affect the upgrade cost in the levels. There are also cards in the game. You can equip them to activate certain buffs that give a percentage increment to the various stats upgrades.
Types of Enemies
There are only 5 types of enemies in this game and all of them are designed and described as squares of different sizes and colors. Read the following points in which we have described all the enemies.
Basic Enemy (Small Red Square) – It’s the basic/normal enemy of the game. On killing it, you will get one cash in the early game. After a certain number of waves, its cash value increases. You will not get any coin for killing it.
Fast Enemy (Yellow Square) – This type of enemy is 2x faster than basic enemies and also drops 2 coins on death. Its cash value is twice the basic enemy.
Tank (Medium-Sized Red Square) – A tank has 5x HP and 50% movement speed than the basic enemy. It also drops 4 coins on death.
Ranged (Blue Square) – Ranged enemies shoot projectiles from a certain range. Their coin value is the same as fast enemies.
Boss (Big Pink Square) – Boss has 20x HP and 30% movement speed compared to the basic enemy. On killing it, you will get 5 coins.
Resources
Diamonds
Diamonds are the premium in-game currencies that are used to buy cards and card slots. There is no way to collect diamonds in this game except to kill bosses (which rarely drop 2 diamonds) or make in-app purchases.
Coins
Coins are used to upgrade your tower permanently in the workshop. But the rate of earning coins is so slow in the early game. And when the rate increases, the upgrade cost also increases. You can easily unlock all new upgrades and max out all the attack, defense & utility upgrades.
Stones
Stones or Power Stones are used to unlock new ultimate weapons and upgrade them. There’s only one way to earn power stones and that is to play tournaments (unlocks after completing wave 60). If you are new to the game, it will take so many hours of gameplay to complete wave 60. In other words, you can’t unlock ultimate weapons before clearing wave 60.
Packs
The official game offers two packs – Starter and Epic. In the starter and epic packs, all the earned coins during the battle are doubled and tripled respectively.
