Roadsend: Tower Defense

Every road ends at your gate.

The Wardstones at the ends of the King's Roads are failing. Gates are tearing open, and armies march down every road towards Roadsend, the old royal city. Hold the line from the green Heartlands across the long marches and into the Ember Wilds, where the last gate waits.

Roadsend is a fantasy tower defense campaign for phones and tablets. Every battlefield is bigger than your screen. Enemies come in from every edge, so you pan, zoom and turn the camera to guard every road, and you build where the fight is.

No ads. No purchases. No account needed.

A campaign with an ending, in two acts
• 25 battles across two acts, on hand-built maps: meadows, river fords, misty downs, salt marshes, haunted woods, quarries, mountain passes and a burning crater.
• A story told in illustrated cards and a few lines before each battle.
• Four bosses: the Hollow King, Grubnak the Warchief, Gorrum the Troll King and Azhkar the Ember Lord.
• Raise the Wardstones and seal the enemy's gates while you hold the castle.
• Act III is already on the map, sealed. It arrives in the next update.

Build, upgrade and repair
• Drag a tower card onto the map. Towers snap to a grid beside the roads.
• Archer Towers, Bombards, Frost Mages and Barracks, each with three levels.
• Ogres, rams and catapults attack your towers. Repair them, or rebuild them from the rubble.
• Barracks send out soldiers who stop enemies in their tracks. Drag the rally flag to choose where they stand.

Six heroes
• Lead with the Warden, then recruit Marshal Brann, Wren the Ranger, Tamsin the Engineer, Orrin the Arcanist and Dunmar the Breaker.
• Each has two abilities and a style of their own. Send them anywhere on the map and watch them grow stronger as the fight goes on.

Spells
• Arrow Volley, Frost Snap, Meteor, Call Militia, Rampart, Mending Light and Radiance cost no gold, only time to recharge. Choose three to carry into each battle.

Know your enemy
• Goblins, wolf riders, orcs, trolls, shield knights, rock golems, wraiths, and drakes that fly straight over your soldiers.
• Almost every battle adds one new idea: villages that pay you gold and raiders who burn them, outposts, a tide that opens a road, restless graves, gates that wake late. The first time you meet each one, a short lesson shows you how to handle it.

Stars, the War Room and Heroic
• Keep your castle safe to earn up to three stars in each battle.
• Spend your stars in the War Room on lasting upgrades for towers, soldiers, heroes, spells and gold.
• Won a battle? Play it again on Heroic and earn its crown.

Made for touch
• One finger pans the map, a pinch zooms, and two fingers turn the view.
• Tap a tower to upgrade or sell it. Tap your hero, then tap the map to send them.
• Play at double or triple speed, or call the next wave early for bonus gold.
• Pause at any moment, and pick up an unfinished battle where you left it.
• Larger text, reduced flashing and three graphics levels in the settings.
