About Gold Tower Defence

The tower-defense game style is pretty simple: You just build many towers to protect a specific area. This game is traditional in terms of the core mechanic where you have paths leading to a certain point. You have the opportunity to gain new towers and arrange combinations that you feel are the most effective. Depending on the kinds of areas you expect to encounter, you can change your tower team to counter whatever dangers you expect to face, However, the effectiveness of the towers is dependent on how you set them up and how you upgrade them to be the most impressive towers on the field.

How to Play

Gold Tower Defence is a 2D top-down tower-defense game where you have to build towers to defend your gold using the mouse. The game UI is interacted with using the cursor to navigate and the Left Mouse Button to select. While in-game, you can build towers by selecting a flagged plot of land and then selecting the tower you want to build. You can also cast spells by clicking on them or using the associated number keys and then selecting the area where you want to cast them. You're trying to protect the end of the road marked by a gold flag and if too many enemies reach it, you'll need to restart the level.

Before the level begins, you can do several things on the main menu. You can use the Gacha for a chance to gain new towers, you can choose what unlocked heroes you want to take into battle, and you choose which towers to take into the levels. You can also upgrade your current units to make them more powerful. When you start playing, you can choose whichever levels are unlocked. The level will show a road and empty plots of land along its sides. You can build towers in these plots while you wait for the enemies to arrive. When they do, enemies will run or fly along the road and your towers will need to take them out.

Towers and enemies operate on a rock-paper-scissors system illustrated by an icon on the units. This can be used to find weaknesses so that you can eliminate enemies faster. The fewer hits you take, the higher your score and rewards. You can check the Missions tab for extra goals for additional awards.

Tips and Tricks

As with most tower-defense games, the goal is all about balance. You'll want a mix of towers that cover different weaknesses and effects so that you can get the most out of their damage. Spells can have long cooldowns and should only be used in emergencies.
