Overview
Villainous is a reverse tower defense game with a medieval fantasy theme. The player commands an unknown, but evil wizard who wants to rule the lands. He needs to take over the entire map of the kingdom region by region. In each level he can summon fantasy creatures and send them down a lane protected by towers operated by the computer. The strategy element is in the choice of the creatures, launching spells, and gaining new skills by gaining experience and expanding the evil castle. Creatures move by themselves and need to reach the end location without getting destroyed. If they survive they can enter again in a new wave, but the defenses will be stronger. At the start of the game only two units can be sent, but additional unit slots become available by progressing. More unit types are also unlocked gradually and the player determines the selection by putting them in a queue. There is goblin raider who is the only one who can raid the end location and gather loot, the bulky mammoth turtle can sustain a lot of damage and the priest heals units at a constant rate in a radius. When creatures are destroyed loose infamy and mana can be collected. Mana is also built up gradually and is used to launch spells to influence the gameplay, for instance by stunning a tower. In the home castle there is a skill tree where infamy can be used as a resource to unlock new skills, perks, spells and units.
