About Dungeon Defenders

Dungeon Defenders poster

Dungeon Defenders is a tower defense action RPG in which you set out to save the land of Etheria from an ancient evil. You create a hero from one of four distinct classes, then push back wave after wave of enemies by summoning defenses and diving directly into fast, action-packed combat. The blend of building and brawling sits at the center of everything, letting you fortify the battlefield and then fight on it yourself.

Progression runs deep. You customize and level your character, forge equipment, gather loot, and collect pets, steadily strengthening your hero for tougher trials. Multiple difficulty modes alongside challenge and survival missions offer more experience and even better treasure the further you push, giving you plenty of reason to replay maps and refine your builds. The RPG systems reward experimentation as much as raw skill.

The experience is built with friends in mind. You can join up for four-player co-op both online and locally through splitscreen, planning strategies together as you decide where to place defenses and how to hold the line. For players who prefer a more competitive edge, the game also offers PvP Deathmatch. Combining action, RPG, and strategy with an indie spirit, Dungeon Defenders delivers cooperative tower defense that PC players can tailor and share.
