What kind of game is Realm Guard?

At a glance

Realm Guard is a tower defense game where you build towers on the empty plots beside the enemy's path to protect the realm. Defeating enemies earns gold, which you spend on new towers or upgrades to face stronger foes. Each enemy that reaches the end of the path costs you lives, and you lose when your lives hit 0.

There are 20 stages running from grasslands through desert, swamp and snowfield to a volcano, and a stage usually takes 3 to 5 minutes. The first 4 stages are a tutorial stretch that unlocks features one at a time, so it's easy to learn even if you're new to the genre.

Tips

Early on, mixing Archer towers and Barracks is a safe start. Soldiers hold enemies in place while the archers shoot.
Place towers near bends in the path to keep enemies in range for longer.
Ground soldiers can't stop flying enemies (bats, wisps) or the wyvern on stage 20. Have Archer, Mage, Frost or Lightning towers ready.
When you have gold to spare, upgrading an existing tower is often better value than building a new one.
