- Enjoyable game, good mechanics, if a little unclear and clunky. Appreciated the ability to redo the tutorial, however this did not work if you were not able to interact with the sttue, so caused a softlock. Enjoyable tower defence menchanics, can see a lot of potential from the synthesis system
- As a lover of tower defense games, I feel like I need to express just how much I enjoy this game. The art, the music, the concept of it, I love it! Especially since you are letting players build a path for the enemies, I had a tough time pulling myself away from this one! Would like some more sounds in the game, like battle sounds while they are fighting, from a distance, since you are looking at them from above. All in all, Great job! I am going to be coming back to this for sure!

Shadow Refuge is a resource management tower defense game. Synthesize shadows and recruit them to fight against enemies.
Different materials have different results when synthesis, thus explore as you will.

Yes, I suck at this

Fun concept! The UI could use some love and the floating point numbers were a bit hard to read. It would be helpful if the game informed you that you have not selected any army units before starting a wave of enemies. Or you die like me (a big dumb idiot)
Thank for checking out. My bad that the game looks a little rough.
I probably won't be updating this game though, but the concept might be used in another project.
Always love a good tower defense. Takes a minute to get used to but I could see that synthesis system adding a ton of depth! Good stuff.
Thanks a ton for checking out!
What a fun lil game! btw... for anyone else wanting to try it don't click the tutorial button again... it... break things
Oh... crap. Sorry for that. Forgot to set the view index back to 0...
Thank you for playing though.
Really interesting tower defense type of game (^w^)<3
It was really nice to play the 3 maps ! (~^w^)~
(7th, 8th, 11th and 12th soldiers can be hard to select though, it's like there is a box around the number of selected soldiers that prevent me to click on the soldiers themselves;)
Thank you! Yeah I do apologize that I haven't playtested properly, so this is an oversight.
Glad you enjoyed the game!
Really solid go! I love everything about this
