Elemental Heroes Tower Defense
An idle tower-defense game with elemental heroes, built in Unity
Enemies march down a winding path towards the player's tower; heroes placed along the path attack them automatically. Between battles the player collects heroes across five elements — fire, water, nature, light and dark — upgrades them and builds a squad whose elements work together. Our team fully developed the game in Unity.

The product
What it does, and for whom
An idle, auto-battling take on tower defense: the strategy lies in which heroes go into the squad and how their elements combine, rather than in tapping during the fight. Boss raids and new regions add stronger enemies as the player progresses.

Core loop
Inside a battle
A battle in progress: the enemy wave on the path, five heroes on their pads shooting elemental attacks, and the squad's hero cards along the bottom.
Waves come down the path
Enemies walk the path towards the tower in waves.
Heroes attack automatically
Each hero fires elemental attacks at enemies in range — no tapping needed.
Build the squad between battles
Collect, upgrade and combine heroes so their elements cover each other's weaknesses.

Heroes across five elements
Every hero belongs to an element — fire, water, nature, light or dark — shown by the colour of the card and its emblem. Upgrades raise a hero's star rating.
Hero collection: one hero per element.
