About Rift Guard TD

Rift Guard TD is a tower defense where strategy beats luck. Build arrow, cannon, frost or arcane towers along procedurally generated paths and upgrade each one through three levels to keep pace with the horde. Grunts soak damage, runners sprint past slow guns, brutes shrug off light hits, sylphs fly over the crowd, specters shrug off magic, and the wave-25 boss tests every build you have. The fixed-timestep engine runs the whole battle at 60 ticks per second with no randomness between runs, so you can tune a defense, replay it and watch your plan hold. Economy is the second game: every kill pays, cleared waves pay more, and calling the next wave early pays most of all, if your line can take the pressure. Three difficulties with their own procedural maps make this a free browser game you can play in short sessions with mouse or touch.
