A delightful mixture of tower defense and RPG.

Defender's Quest, a highly addictive mixture of tower defense and role-playing game set in a world shattered by mysterious disease, is now available 33% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 until Tuesday, November 6, at 10:59 AM GMT.

The Kingdom of Ash was not a nice place to live. The mysterious Plague decimated the citizens and the war seemed to have no end. The court librarian Azra, however, led a peaceful life buried in her books and shielded from all grisly matters by the castle walls. Then all of a sudden--she was ill. As all of the Plague victims she was tossed into The Pit by the royal watchmen. Never she would suspect the horrors that awaited her in this underworld of villainy, necromancy, and greed. But she survived, mysteriously cured of her illness. Now, with newly-gained mystical powers and a party of allies, she has to follow her destiny.

In the times where tower defense games are a dime a dozen, Defender's Quest really stands out from the crowd. This game is to tower defense games as Puzzle Quest is to the match three genre. The RPG elements make it immensely enjoyable and add layers upon layers of strategic planning, character development, and intriguing storyline. These are no simple towers defending the battlefield in this one. These are characters you'll grow invested in. There are multitude of settings that let you control every aspect of their behavior in battle. Should the archer target the weakest enemy, or should she spam her arrows randomly causing damage to the whole horde of your foes? Should your berserker develop his ability to attack three monsters with one blow or concentrate on his HP regeneration ability? A seemingly simple strategic decision could easily turn the tide of a battle!

Gather a party, master your skills, crush monsters, hoard loot, and survive the onslaught while you set out on the Defender's Quest, for only $9.99.
Wow, just saw the trailer for this couple of weeks ago and read the Rock, Paper, Shotgun review (they loved it).

Very nice addition to GOG.

Wish listed for now till after my vacation :)
YEEEEAAAHHHHHHH
whishlisted for the moment as just bought some stuff of various Halloween sales,
Excellent!
Wishlisted, no monies right now.
YAY!

Warning: this game is *extremely* addictive.
Maybe I'll love it, but I'm extra careful with tower defence games. Many of them feel to me like buying different flavors of Tetris clones. But at least this is supposed to be different from the rest?

Not my preferred genre, even though I generally like RTS games.

they love anything as long as it says "indie" somewhere...
There's a pretty big demo of the previous version on various flash sites, if anyone's interested. I remember playing it on Kongregate and having a blast.
Will buy in near future.
Hmm, I remember playing this one once...can't remember whether it was a demo, an alpha, or play for free, then?

Was quite nice, but too repetitive for my personal taste.
TD games normally aren't my cup of tea but at leat this one looks different
Nice game (especially at the current price with the 1.59$ soundtrack included),
but it can also be bought directly from the publisher DRM-Free for Windows/Mac/Linux at the same price...

As a Linux user I will pass and buy it from the official site since GOG.com
does not support Linux (even when the game does): Sorry, guys.

If you're unsure, you can play the demo here .

It's quite good compared to other TD's I'd say.
