Your mission
A fortress between the artifact and oblivion.
Enemies converge on the fortress guarding the artifact. Every attacker who crosses your lines weakens it: study the paths, anticipate the waves, and build in the right place.
The ancient Egypt campaign spans 12 chapters and 60 levels. Stars earned across sites gradually reveal 12 artifacts and expand your museum.
One battle, ten waves
Build, adapt, and hold until the last attacker falls.
Each attempt costs 1 Energy. Victory comes after the tenth wave, once no active enemies remain on the battlefield.
