What is Wool at the Gates?
In this medieval-themed tower defense strategy game, you build and upgrade defenses between enemy waves, then fight alongside your army as a hero. Limited build slots shape your choices across campaign maps, randomized runs, and endless waves. You choose Human, Orc, or Elf structures and combine building types for class bonuses.
For you if...
- +you like planning defenses against increasingly difficult waves
- +you enjoy experimenting with factions, classes, and hero abilities
Not for you if...
- −you want freeform building without limited build slots
- −you prefer strategy games without direct hero combat
