Damn fun game, requires some grind for the hardest maps and challenges. Unfortunately there is no successor and also no map editor but still a great Tower/hero defense mix.

The server is down so no more PvP, Co-op or Endless modes. It's a tower defense game whether you deploy (and move) up to 5 heroes to defeat waves of enemies. Worth it on a deep sale.

Classic Hero-Tower Defense. Little bit clunky for nowadays standard but still very fun to play.
