Tower-defense strategy with a dark twist: nearly all players who reach the 25-hour mark call it brilliant. Yet the same session that leaves them craving another run can stutter on older hardware.

What it's about: Dungeon Warfare est un Tower Defense où vous incarnez le Seigneur d'un donjon devant se défendre face aux assauts incessants d'aventuriers cupides. Au fur et à mesure que vous repousserez ces envahisseurs hors de vos donjons, vous débloquerez de puissants pièges.
