[h2]Traditional Tower Defense vs. Reverse Tower Defense
[/h2]
Before that, let’s take a step back to the traditional tower defense genre. Typically, tower defense games have a simple idea - build a strong line of defense and halt the advance of enemy troops. With each wave, you would have to identify weak spots and bolster your defenses, making sure no enemy gets through. It's a thrilling setup, one that we've grown to enjoy!

However, here’s an exciting twist for you to think about.. Imagine being on the other side of this battlefield for once. Picture yourself not as the steadfast defender, but as the bold attacker, the one who takes the battle to the enemy. Instead of passively awaiting the onslaught, you’re actively dismantling defenses, breaking lines, and leading the charge. This is the core essence of the reverse tower defense battles in Affogato, a unique approach that flips the traditional concept on its head!

The Chariot is an armored Witch Card that takes damage for the team!
The Strength charges up each hit and unleashes a devastating strike once fully charged!
At the heart of these mental battles in Affogato lies your arsenal of weapons called the Witch Cards, a selection of powerful allies waiting to be summoned. Each Witch Card possesses its own unique abilities and powers, allowing you to customize your battle strategy. For example, you might require a robust armored warrior to hold the line and absorb enemy damage at critical moments. Or perhaps a swift striker who charges ahead, throwing the enemy's defenses into disarray. This is where your decision-making and in-the-moment adaptations truly come to life in Affogato!
Strategize your battle path wisely!
Navigating through these battles isn’t just about your offensive line-up, though. To secure victory in each stage, you’ll need to outwit the defenses which take the form of enemy “towers”. Unlike the traditional single-path approach often seen in tower defense games, we’ve spiced things up with multiple pathways in each stage, adding a twist of strategy and unpredictability to your game plan. Choosing a path could be the difference between resounding victory and crushing defeat, so make sure you strategize it well!
We hope this peek into Affogato's unique reverse tower defense mechanic has got you as excited as we are! Over the next few months, we've got some fantastic updates planned that we can't wait to share with you, including our official launch, so be sure to stay tuned!
