It's a game that respects the roots of tower defense while also introducing new mechanics that demand thoughtful planning and quick adaptation. At the heart of Element TD 2 lies a deceptively simple premise: prevent waves of enemies from reaching your portal by building towers along their path.

With dozens of towers, alongside an array of maps to test your defenses, this is a feature-packed standalone sequel prepared to challenge Tower Defense players.

User Reviews
It is hard to find a good tower defense game with mazing. Element TD tries and I want to like it but it's not polished enough to really enjoy. There are bugs, the UI isn't clear about how things actually work, and some basic quality of life features are missing, like being able to look at the tower guide while paused in single player. Important stuff like progression achievements in the campaigns just don't work sometimes.
I just don't get hooked to the game
remember playing this map in W3 over the phone line with a friend in 2004. those were the days!
Random everything is the way to go
Epitome of "meh"
Easy to learn, easy to play, chill game that's certainly worth the money!
