Overview
Chthonian TD is a unique blend of co-op action, roguelite progression, and tower defense strategy, designed for 1 to 4 players. Players are thrust into the heart of a crystal mine, tasked with defending against increasingly challenging waves of enemies.

Who It's For
This game is for players who enjoy the constant pressure and strategic depth of tower defense but crave more direct involvement.

It's also ideal for groups looking for a cooperative experience that demands active participation and quick thinking from all members.
Game Info
Developed and published by Lukas Haupt, Chthonian TD offers a fresh take on the tower defense genre. It emphasizes short, intense runs with no "autopilot" moments, ensuring players are always engaged. The game features a dynamic enemy that can shift the pace of a run, and an optional Endless Mode for those who survive the main challenge. Players will need to move, aim, dodge, and strategize on the fly, making every decision count.
