The premise, in the publisher's words

In this mix of Tower Defense, RTS, and Roguelite progression, you fight for your tribe's survival.

From the Spiridun, the divine nexus of your forefathers, command your last defense: build towers and rally warriors. Hold the line against endless waves, then strike back to reclaim your lands. Each battle is a divine trial. As you fall and rise, ancient runestones awaken forgotten powers, reshaping your strategy with every run. Win the gods favor in the dawn of a new age: the Dawn of Defense.
