Just when we thought games couldn't get anymore addictive, Rogue Tower comes along and combines the addictive and fun nature of a roguelite with a tower defense style gameplay. The result is a hugely replayable game that's just missing a fast forward button!

In tower defense games, towers close together should ALWAYS aim at different priorities. If they're all aimed at the first enemy, only one of the shots counts when enemy dies, very architectury.

a house doesn't give you the gold according to the level of the tower but according to the current level of the game (number of adjacent towers x wave = gold). If you place a tower next to a house in round 1 it will have given you about 1000 gold by the end of the game, not massive but ballistas are pretty cheap so I would recommend doing it. Also, path splits don't double the number of enemies they just divide them equally.

Also enemies don't "burn" equal to the number shown. The number is how long they will be hurt by whatever fire, poison or bleed is damaging them. The damage starts at 25/s then gets buffed with cards from there. Unlock a shedder next time and try to level up tower up stats in the box on their right after you select them. You can make special towers out for each status. Shield and armor snipers essentially set to target the "Most Shielded or Armored" enemies.

@thegoodman5682 2 жыл бұрын

Towers level up as they kill enemies, the level up gives them a free upgrade depending on which kind of damage they dealt (health/armor/shields). It is a bad idea to upgrade towers manually if you have a lot of towers. Just let them gain levels organically. It is good when you have a killzone with an Area of Effect tower though. You won't need as many towers since you are doing AoE damage.

Those "tanks" are called siege rams or battering rams. These were once used to break down walls and gates with a large, as the name implies, battering ram usually made out of logs with armour on the front. The rams were also used to protect the troops under it from arrows, ballistas and other ranged weapons.

A lot of missing and incorrect stuff in this video. 1 armour is yellow, shield is blue, not the other way around 2 you keept targeting max health to try and target high armour enemies in the first game 3 houses pay out based on the level you reached (round number), not the level of the turret 4 you completely missed spending gold to upgrade turrets at any point 5 when selling a turret you get back the cost to buy the previous turret of that type, not the cost you paid. You do not get back any level up you bought for it though 6 the burn damage is not the amount they are burning per second (that increases with cards), it is the amount of burn damage ready to be applied to them

Tesla Coil GREAT for the big corner turn tiles.... because on a +3 the coil will hit the entire path around the corner turn. so it works out really well. so far ive gotten to like level 27 by doing this. i think in order to win, you really need all the tower types. its hard to go with just one type the whole game. Sadly, each type has its own damage. Tesla great against shields. Mortar great against armor. Ballista great against health. Radar great against health. etc.

Keep your defenses closer to your tower! If they’re too far away they’ll get distracted by the enemies farther away from reaching your tower which pose less immediate risk. Also when you need to preserve mana posting them closer to your tower will help while best utilizing the area damage to kill multiple foes at once after they’ve been previously damaged and right before they could potentially reach your tower.
