A classic Tower Defense game with lots of enemies and territories to conquer. Join King Rügni on his epic adventure against hordes of elementals.
How to play King Rugni Tower Defense
There is very little to learn before your first run. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select units and place buildings |
| Left click | Confirm placement |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
