Polygard - Tower Defense

Polygard is tactical tower defense for players who would rather plan than tap frantically. Calm geometric visuals, clear rules and one question that every wave asks again: where does your tower stand, and from which side does it hit? Build towers, upgrade them, find the right counter for every enemy and defend your base wave after wave. Every map recreates a real place, from Trollstigen in Norway to Hadrian's Wall, Mount Etna, New York and Victoria Falls. WHY POLYGARD PLAYS DIFFERENTLY • Facets: armored enemies have one open side, shields break segment by segment, bosses carry a glowing crack. Place smart, hit harder • Terrain matters: elevation, chokepoints, high ground and blind spots behind obstacles. Towers reach less far uphill, plunging fire hits from above • Real ballistics: shells lead their target and land where the enemy will be after the flight time • Local rules: closed gates at Hadrian's Wall, Malbork's drawbridge, spray at Victoria Falls, glacier crevasses, floods, sandstorms, lava and rockfall TOWERS AND STRATEGY • 12 core towers, including MG, Bomb, Anti-Air, Flamethrower, Frost, Sniper, Laser, Railgun, Golem, Harpooner and Mine Layer • Every tower has two specializations: gold for raw power, blue for tactics, plus a master level • 12 special towers on fixed plinths, such as the Kraken, Avalanche Works, Volcanic Vent, Cable Car, Race Team and Salt Caravan • 3D towers that turn smoothly toward their target; every upgrade level looks different • Veterans: towers that serve long get promoted and learn an ability of their own • Legends: a fully researched master veteran rises to legend and leads every tower of its kind • 5 abilities with combos: Meteor Shower, Freeze, Overclock, Acid Rain and Lightning • Pacts after boss waves: an advantage with a catch, your call MAPS, WAVES AND BOSSES • 41 maps from easy to extreme, 18 of them free • A round runs for 100 waves; earn a star at waves 30, 45 and 60 • 40 unique final bosses in wave 100, from the mountain troll to the mammoth, each with its own ability • Mini-bosses, enemies for each map group and an Endless mode for record hunters • Atlas as a rotating globe with every map at its real location RESEARCH AND PROGRESS • A tech tree for every tower, plus Command and Abilities • Research points with every player level, respec possible • Level path, achievements, stars and an enemy guide to complete MORE GAME MODES • Position puzzles: 14 tactical puzzles with given towers and a fixed squad.
