What is Hexguardian?

Hexguardian is a single-player roguelite tower defense game in which you build a hex-tile map to direct attackers while defending your realm with towers, units, and spells. Runs earn points for a tech tree of new defenses, while survival unlocks maps and difficulty settings. A separate weekly challenge uses limited resources and has a leaderboard.

For you if...

  • +you like rerouting enemy waves while placing defenses
  • +you enjoy combining towers, units, and elemental spells
  • +you want weekly challenges with limited resources

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer fixed maps rather than randomly drawn tiles
  • −you dislike progression tied to surviving repeated runs

What players say
