About

Two players, two boards, one race. In Maze Wars, the towers you place are the walls of your maze, and every one bends the path your enemies walk. Spend gold on creeps to send at your opponent, grow your income with every send, and run your rival out of lives before they do the same to you.

Features

Build the maze

Every tower you place reshapes the path. A good maze walks creeps past your firepower again and again before they reach the exit.

Send creeps, grow income

Buy creeps to send at your opponent. Every send raises your income, so each attack is also an investment in the rounds ahead.

Draft your army

Choose from teams like Fire, Undead, Gem, and Shadow, each with its own towers and signature creep, then pick boons that bend the rules.

Know your enemy

Nine damage types meet a range of armour. Match your towers to what's coming or it walks straight through. The in-game encyclopedia has every number.

A full campaign

Cross a star map of missions with bonuses to choose, act bosses to beat, and skill challenges between fights. Earn stars to spend across three talent trees.

Play your way

Play online, take on the AI, or set up a custom lobby with friends. Team Wave Defense lets you hold the line together. Full gamepad support included.
