This reminds me so much of one of my favorite games of all time, dungeon keeper. God, I wish I still had that game. This game is very different in many ways, however, and definitely worth playing, 5/5.

Kongregate is hosting an old version of this game -- V1.43 has been out for years. Recently re-looked up this game as it is one of my favorites from back in the day. An awesome blend of tower defense and RTS with an awesome skill and leveling system

You should really be able to sell the items and keep them from level to level, graphics should really be improved on. I really liked the idea of digging out veins of ore for extra money and that you had peons that would automatically specifically for that purpose. Also, it was a GREAT idea to let us set the range for our units.

for badge hunter: 1. choose medium. 2. choose dark knight. 3. guide for level 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8-j4_MNXA level 9 (use hydras instead of wyrms): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFysgZnFQOQ just google other levels if you have trouble. stats shouldn't matter that much but you can reset everytime you finish a new level and choose the one which'll increase the mobs that you'll use on the next level. on the last level i'm taking minotaur+hydra's line and spike (but i didn't use the spike though)

Lvl 4: Line up Minotaurs all the way down from the 3 stone columns; extending their range to max. Later add manticores next to home base. Ignore treasures, and easy win on Medium.

The best strategy is to surround generating point with centaurs and block melee with minotaurs as soon as possible. Send peons to dig more tiles around GP. With enough ranged units around and some well set traps the enemies won't be able move far except for paladins.
Most enemy ranged units will be killed instantly after spawn. Once u have money, build gold and upgrade ur troops. I have scored 60000+ in 8th and 25000+ in 9th map in this way.

Cool Game! Any tips on killing Rogues? They are the only mob that seems to just run over whatever I put up against them.

How to beat last level:
Dig out every house expept the first ones, to use them as a blockade. put demons behind them and put a few elements in front to block. later an add some manticores to block flyers. thats it.

Kinda hard when you first start, but once you get the hang of it it's really easy. GET ALCHEMY AS SOON AS YOU REACH LEVEL 5, it gives you about 30 gold per wave. For defenders, the best ones are manticores (but unless you have the nest upgrade, you might prefer vampires) and elementals, as ranged attackers I like the magic users (Demons and liches). Centaurs, goblins and minotaurs rapidly become obsolete after level 4-5.

Stage 4 wasn't that hard. Just make sure you guys have Minotaurs and lots of them, with the Beefy upgrade. Worked fine for me. Important thing in this game is to reset your Upgrades for the next map correctly. That's why you get so few points, because you are supposed to be strategic. If you want a general strategy though, the hero avatar upgrades are always okay, especially Alchemy. The 3rd Manticore is nice too. I find the archer to be best. He can take some hits, but also do range kiting cheeze.

Well, here we are again. Dungeon Defender, completed this late last year with all 3 character choices in available difficulties, and reading the comments here it seems as though the Evil Wizard is a popular choice though if i remember correctly his advanced units were ranged and i felt not as profficient in blocking the enemy in lich or centaur surrounded user created corridors on the later levels, or versus those grizzly bear type creatures that consume lairs rapidly and seem to respawn in random places ;-)

You know that I hate that when I get a award in the high score, there are some there that used Cheat Engine to get up there.

The game needs more documentation: I have little idea what I'm buying with gold or points. Existing documentation needs serious editing: the missing words and changes in point-of-view and verb tense make the story line and hints painful to fathom. Status information during the game lacks clarity and breadth, making the play a matter of experimentation and investigation, rather than simple play.

Beat lvl 4 - place a Minotaur at the end of each col. of bricks so that they extend the columns. Under the center Minotaur place 2 Centaurs, then build up your Minotaurs as you earn $$ under the outside columns all the way down. Then just keep building in between the columns using Manticores, Liches, etc. Skip the Vamps. Don't go after any treasure.

Put your points in spike traps then respec in manticores around level 4-5 and then put points back in spike traps. Even on the last level you can legit spam manticores for like 30 waves then start filling in a few elementals for defense.

Lvl 8 5 Minotaurs on both sides with a Gym boost in the middle and support behind walls by Centaurs, about like 15 per each side. I equipped my Chaos Ranger with Dexterity stuff and if i had one, add a Health item. At the end i decided 4k was alot of money so i spent it on Wyrms at the end and dominated.

This game had some promise, what with upgrade points, leveling lairs, etc. But I quickly learned that the upgrade system is extremely limited. The repetitive music and complete lack of any real interaction, not to mention the extremely slow speed of pretty much everything, even when cranked up to max, just hammered me to sleep. Promise is all this game has.

This game has great potiential, even though (as the top comments have pointed out) it has several flaws. But I love the music, it's so relaxing! I'm upping my rating from 3 to 4 stars just for the music. This is a good kind of game to relax to. Especially since it has a speed slider-bar so you can adjust the pace however you like.
Also I believe I've played a free demo of a more advanced version of this game once, from Steam. It had Diablo II-quality graphics, and IIRC even the same name, so must be part of a series. I wish there was a sequel here on Kongregate too.

Damn, Level 9 is tough i tried the all goblin idea.. worked good for me until the end :(.. fun game and really challenging :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The idea behind this is very good. The execution is horrible. You only get 1 skill point per level, there are 9 levels, and 41 things to level up. Somebody failed at math. The hero only shoots once every 5 seconds or so, making them useless. And the music will make your teeth hurt after 5 minutes.

I wanted to enjoy this game, so much fun in it. Yet, I lose my levels, gear, and gold between levels? :( There goes the fun, and my rating. :( :(

Well, I'm glad that you can win the game using only Goblins and Centaurs and Hydras (Death Knight unit), but my upgrade tree looks unhappy.

The game needs to adjust to all resolution types. I'm not using a wide-screen monitor so the text on the screen is going beyond my view space.

I like the idea of the defense strategy with a mix of dungeon creatures you can have and traps you can set in your little arsenal. But the overlapping game play makes it pretty boring when you reach Level 4 or so and the AI of enemies aren't very bright.

@Templar, I just beat Level 4 again, with NO upgrades (I just put all the upgrades into Liches and Vampires so they have no effect on me for this test) with just Minotaurs in the center and sides (maximize range), and then threw in some Manticores (anti flyers) much later and some spike traps. I am using Chaotic Ranger, Medium difficulty. Move your hero up to center to shoot arrows too while the minotaurs blocked. I barely had to do anything. (the best upgrade tactic is to reset and apply the points to your newly unlocked units, your hero goes up 1 level every map, that means 1 new unit every map. I also like spike trap upgrades, put them 1 spot ahead of your melee units)

This game is wonderful in that it follows the role of a villain. The gameplay and concept are fantastic, but each level will only give you so much to work with. You really have to pick and choose which bonuses you want to get to get any meaningful result in the later levels. That system is a bit skewed in the heroes' favor. Perhaps if gold could be accumulated across the levels it would become a little bit less of a hassle (although I think it would lean more towards a slaughter). Great game overall, but only ever so slightly turned off by the near-100% stock levels. I'd like to see more from this developer

Normally this type of game is my thing, I love em. However I can't help but find this boring and rather difficult. Which to me is a terrible combo. I do not know if it is the simplicity of it or the lack of doing much of anything but it just doesn't give me any fun. 2/5

By the time I finished level 8 everyone's speed was so high I had no idea what was happening, just placing buildings on every square inch. Now I have to beat level 9...

This game is trash. It has the appearance of being actually something, but it isn't. Your lairs die instantly if enemy units touch them. Your items you collected do not carry between levels thus making them pointless. Melee units must be set every single time to increase their patrol range so they actually ever leave their dens. Perk points are so limited you can hardly do anything with them. Your hero's stats/level reset every new map. It's almost impossible to see what's happening due to enemy units being so small and overlapping. So much is wrong with this game. 1/5

"Sir they're sending mages at us, they're slaughtering our goblins!"
"There is only one reaction to this... SEND MORE GOBLINS!"

Made it through the first seven levels pretty easily but lvl eight is kicking my butt when wave 30 or so comes, just so many flyers to deal with.
