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
