Defend your base with the new retro arcade-style Battle Turret, 20 new stages, Midas Peg, Lucky Balls, stronger coin rewards, and more!
Descent Defender is a Plinko-inspired tower defense game where every run sends enemies bouncing through a chaotic board toward your tower.
Shape the battlefield with powerful peg abilities, strengthen your fortifications, research long-term upgrades, and take direct control of your retro arcade-style Battle Turret. Move your ship, fire on incoming enemies, unleash special attacks, and turn the tide when the board gets overwhelmed.
Push through 50 increasingly difficult stages, earn Battle Turret XP, unlock new talents, and customize your defenses with unique board and turret skins. Every upgrade helps you survive longer, earn more rewards, and descend deeper into the chaos.
