Candy Defenders

Candy Defenders is a turn-based strategy game on an isometric grid map. Players control three defenders: River Warden, Root Keeper, and Sun Seer. Each turn consists of a defender phase followed by an enemy phase. In the defender phase, each character can perform a maximum of one action: move according to their footsteps and one action: push an opponent, pull an opponent within range, shoot in eight directions, place a danger zone, erect a enchanted tower shield, or end the turn. Actions consume the character's mana points. Enemies are of three types: melee, monster spawn, and tank. They act after the defender phase and can attack the enchanted tower if they get close. Players win by eliminating all enemies or holding the tower for the required number of turns (depending on the objective of each level), and lose when all defenders are defeated or a crucial enchanted tower is destroyed. There are six levels with different objectives: defeat, hold, or a combination of both, on maps such as Sacred Field and Ember Forge. Tide Hollow, Thorn Maze, Storm Relay, and Ruin Bastion: Map terrain includes normal land tiles, lava, water, electricity, traps, pits, push plates, destructible obstacles, structures and mountains blocking the path, dangerous tiles that deal damage per turn or hinder movement. Upgrades between stages are performed at the Sugar Workshop using gems obtained after each victory. There are four upgrade stats: HP (increases the team's maximum health), DMG (increases attack damage), RNG (increases pull range and shield area), and MOVE (increases the number of tiles moved per turn). Each stat has a maximum of six levels. New stages unlock sequentially upon completing the previous one.
