Defend the Rook is a tactical roguelike strategy game developed by One Up Plus and published by Goblinz Publishing. Blending turn-based tactics with tower defense elements, the game challenges players to protect their rook against waves of enemies on grid-based battlefields. You command a team of three heroes, each with unique abilities, and strategically place defensive structures like barricades, turrets, and traps to control enemy movement. Every run offers procedurally generated upgrades, relics, and rewards, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same.
Careful positioning, synergy between heroes, and smart resource management are key to surviving increasingly difficult encounters. Between battles, you can strengthen your team with powerful artifacts and permanent upgrades that enhance future runs. The pixel-art style combined with tactical depth makes the game approachable yet strategically rich. As enemy factions grow stronger and introduce new mechanics, adapting your tactics becomes essential. Defend the Rook offers high replayability and satisfying strategic gameplay for fans of roguelikes and tactical combat on Windows PC.
