A tactical tower defense game where movable units protect garden gnomes and their strawberries.
The briefing
Defenders of the Mystic Garden puts a tactical spin on the tower defense genre. Animals and insects are attacking backyard garden gnomes and stealing their strawberries, challenging players to place and command their defenses.
Rather than using static towers, players deploy four movable unit types: the Warrior, Ranger, Fire Mage, and Ice Mage. Each unit has a different strategy and can be moved freely or assigned to patrol between two points. Unique voice-overs and sound effects accompany in-game events.
The game includes 12 levels across four unit-themed environments, along with 16 challenges that encourage replay. Challenges include defeating enemies with patrolling units, protecting every strawberry, and completing levels in different ways. Players can also defeat, collect, and study 16 enemy types.
