Wardvale: Wizard's Way

About Wardvale: Wizard's Way: Hand-Painted Pixel Tower Defense

Wardvale: Wizard's Way puts you in command of a wizard defending a keep from relentless goblin waves across ten levels of hand-painted pixel-art tower defense. The road to your keep is the battlefield, and every plot along it is a decision: build, upgrade, or hold. The game moves at your pace — a skippable tutorial eases you in, an x2 speed option keeps things brisk, and support for seven languages makes it broadly accessible.

How to Play Wardvale: Wizard's Way

Stop every wave before the enemies reach your keep. Clearing a level earns up to three stars, which feed into your wizard's star tree. Work through all ten levels to complete the campaign.

Tower Types

• Fire
• Water
• Air
• Earth

Tower Powers

Each tower ranks up over time, and every new rank lets you choose a power for that tower. Named powers available across the four tower types include:

• Meteors
• Storms
• Water snares
• Stone golems that hold the road

Spells and Wave Management

Cast spells directly onto the road to affect enemies mid-wave. Calling the next wave early via the wave marker rewards bonus gold. Fearsome bosses appear as the campaign progresses.

Controls

• Click an empty plot: Build a tower
• Click a tower: Upgrade it, choose its new power, or sell it
• Click the wave marker: Call the next wave early for bonus gold
• Click a spell, then the road: Cast the spell
