About Wickwarden: Lantern Defense
The beacon is the last light of the north. The draugr are coming. Hold the line. Wickwarden is a tower defense where every brazier counts. Place braziers, merge two of the same level to light a stronger one, and choose how each one evolves. But braziers burn amber, and amber is never enough. Spend it wisely, collect the drops, and don't let the light go out. HOW IT PLAYS - Drag two matching braziers together to merge them into a higher level - Three runes: Fire splashes crowds, Frost slows and stuns, Mjolnir pierces shields from afar - FLASH blasts every enemy on screen. FROST slows them all to a crawl - Reposition braziers between waves to answer each new attack (levels 1-12, optional in Endless) - Pick one of three cards between waves to shape your run CAMPAIGN AND ENDLESS - 50 levels across four frozen maps: Frozen Fjord, Cross of Runes, Draugr Hollow and Pass of the Two Stones - A boss guards the end of each land: Jormungandr, the Draugr King and more - Endless mode: choose your braziers and your map, then see how many waves you can survive - Earn embers and spend them on permanent upgrades - Daily missions and 12 achievements, with Game Center support PLAY YOUR WAY - Easy to learn, deep to master - Resume any run right where you left it - Offline, no Wi-Fi needed - Free to play - Built for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, open or closed - Play in landscape on iPad and iPhone Duo Keep the fire alive. Break the Fimbulvetr.
