Wardspire, a Tower Defense Game with No All-Purpose Tower
A solo-developed Nordic tower-defense game built around eight specialized towers, five damage types, free placement, and nine hand-designed worlds.
Field notes
Wardspire organizes its tactics around explicit counters rather than a universal answer: five damage types meet resistances, armor, and immunities, while each of the eight towers occupies a defined role. Placement is unconstrained by a grid, but the path remains open, and later worlds add successive enemy routes that merge together. Progression runs through Glory, a Forge, and an Armory, with the page also listing 20 waves per world, a boss at the end, and an endless mode that records the best wave.
