What Should I Play Now?

Dungeon Defenders

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Tower defense
  • Co-op
  • Loot

Pick a hero from four classes and defend the Eternia Crystals: before each wave you place defences paid for with mana, then join the fight yourself, grab loot and level up. Four-player co-op, online or split screen.

Why play it now

When you get together with friends to plan your defences as a team, with classes that complement each other.

Who it's for

For groups who like tower defense games and levelling up their hero through loot.

When not to pick it

If you'll be playing alone: reviews warn that it gets frustrating solo.
