Crypt Defancer

Defend the Crypt until you gather ultimate power to unleash upon the world.

Instructions:

Click on the graves to create a unit. These will appear on your 5 base tiles.

Units cost dread (red bar) and power (purple bar) to create if dread is insufficient.

Drag units from there to the path beginnings to deploy them.

Units passively create power while on their base tiles and perish once they leave the dungeon so don't deploy them too quickly.

Units have different strengths and weaknesses. Experiment!

Enemies will get stronger and more frequent the longer the game goes on.

Enemy units, when killed, will earn you dread; the sooner they die, the more you will earn.

If an enemy reaches your base, they will block one base tile.

If all of your base tiles are blocked, you lose. If your power exceeds a threshold, you lose.

Have fun!
