Dungeon Defenders is a hybrid action RPG and tower defense game developed by Trendy Entertainment. Players assume the role of unique fantasy heroes, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, tasked with defending the Eternia Crystals from hordes of enemy creatures across a variety of colorful and vibrant environments. The game combines elements of strategic tower defense with real-time action, allowing players to build defenses such as traps, towers, and barricades while also engaging directly in combat during the waves of attacking foes.
The gameplay is designed for both solo and cooperative multiplayer experiences, supporting up to four players in local or online play. As players progress through the game, they collect loot, level up their characters, and unlock new abilities and equipment to enhance their defenses and combat effectiveness. Each hero class—the Knight-like Squire, the mystical Apprentice, the agile Huntress, and the supportive Monk—offers a unique playstyle, encouraging teamwork and strategy when facing increasingly challenging levels. The mix of RPG elements, combined with strategic tower placement and intense action, has made Dungeon Defenders a beloved title within the indie game community, leading to multiple sequels and expansions that further develop the gameplay and lore.
