Hexguardian, developed by Split Second Games and published by Yogscast Games, is a distinctive take on the roguelite tower defense genre that combines strategic planning with a dynamic and engaging gameplay loop. Players are charged with defending a castle against relentless waves of attackers by constructing towers, recruiting armies, casting spells, and erecting wonders. What sets Hexguardian apart is its use of a hexagonal tile system, which introduces a spatial puzzle element to the traditional tower defense formula. Players must carefully place tiles during the build phase to control enemy pathways and optimize their defensive setups. This blend of planning and adaptability challenges players to constantly reassess their strategies as threats evolve. The game operates on a clear day-night cycle, splitting gameplay into distinct build and combat phases. During the build phase, players strategically place hex tiles and prepare defenses, while the defensive phase tests how well those plans hold up against oncoming waves of enemies attacking by land, sea, and air. This cyclical rhythm maintains a strong sense of pacing and urgency, as players must think ahead yet remain flexible when unexpected threats arise. The multi-dimensional combat requires players to balance their focus between multiple fronts, fostering a layered and immersive strategic experience. One of Hexguardian’s greatest strengths is its roguelite progression system, which offers a wealth of upgrades, towers, units, and abilities that players unlock over multiple runs. This system encourages experimentation, allowing players to tailor their approach based on preferred playstyles and the options available in each run. The tech tree adds depth to this progression, rewarding strategic choices and persistence. However, the game does not shy away from difficulty spikes, and certain enemy types or environmental hazards can abruptly increase the challenge, demanding quick adaptation and skillful resource management. Visually, Hexguardian stands out with its vibrant, colorful art style and smooth animations, which combine to create a charming and inviting world. The hexagonal grid not only serves a gameplay function but also adds a unique aesthetic dimension, requiring players to think carefully about tile placement for both defensive effectiveness and efficient space use. The atmospheric soundtrack complements the mood, dynamically shifting between tense, action-packed themes during combat and more relaxed melodies in the building phases, enhancing immersion throughout the gameplay loop. While Hexguardian impresses with its strategic depth and engaging mechanics, it is not without areas for improvement. Some players have found the user interface occasionally cluttered or confusing, particularly when managing large armies or navigating upgrade menus. Additionally, while the game offers extensive gameplay variety, some have wished for a more developed narrative or richer world-building elements to deepen player investment beyond the strategic gameplay. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience remains highly enjoyable and rewarding. In summary, Hexguardian successfully reinvigorates the tower defense genre by integrating roguelite elements and a unique hex-tile mechanic that requires both tactical foresight and reactive gameplay. Its blend of strategic complexity, progression systems, and appealing visuals make it a compelling title for strategy enthusiasts seeking a fresh challenge. Though there is room for refinement in interface design and storytelling, Hexguardian delivers a rich and satisfying experience that encourages repeated play and mastery. Rating: 7/10

April 2025

Love this game so far. I wish we have a disable timer feature in between waves though. One of the reasons I love the tower defense genre is that you can do other things while playing. This game demands your full attention solely because of the timer.

March 2025

Rounds feel a bit short but the game features several maps with different modifiers and a massive tech tree. Some things feel a bit weak. basic towers fall off hard and elemental combos become almost mandatory as enemy health scales out of control. but i make it a bit further every time.

Feb. 2025

Genuinely so fun. It can be frustrating at times, but I'm having a time with it!

I am usually not a big fan of TD games because the can become repetitive quite fast. Loved Hexguardian because the dynamic terrain placements adds a lot more depth to the strategy element.
