About This Game
Flex your strategic muscles with Gotchi Guardians — a chaotic, multiplayer roguelite tower defense game. Face off against seven other players as you build cute, devastating defenses to protect your Guardian from relentless waves of evil Licks. Adapt to unpredictable events, counter your opponents’ strategies, and outlast the madness to become the last Guardian standing!
Meet the Guardians
From stubborn tanks to greedy misfits, every Guardian plays differently—and brings their own twist to the battlefield.
🛡️ Knight – A stalwart defender who punishes attackers by reflecting their damage. Ideal for players who like to stand their ground—and make it hurt.
🍎 Farmer – A cheerful oddball who buffs towers by spraying them with apple juice and distracting enemies with inflatable decoys. It shouldn’t work. It does anyway.
💰 Soldier of Fortune – A slick opportunist who turns gold into power. Earn bonus income by acting fast, soaking damage, or cashing out at just the right moment.
A total of 6 Guardians are available at launch, including the Pirate, the Archer, and the magic Shaaman—each offering a different playstyle for every kind of strategist.
Earn XP as you play and unlock unique talents for each Guardian, letting you grow stronger no matter how you choose to play.
Risk, Reward, Repeat
Every match brings a new set of twists through the dynamic event system. Choose which towers to unlock, how many more enemies everyone should face, and what kind of upgrades the enemy Licks will gain—like exploding gas tanks or super sticky giant bullets for Steady Lads. Every decision affects the flow of battle.
Event choices grant rewards like Income, Items, and Upgrade Seeds, which unlock powerful tower evolutions. At the end of every 5-round day, all players must survive the rampage of a powerful Boss Lick!
Climb the seasonal leaderboards by earning Stars and Star Dust through consistent play. Survive longer, place higher, and unlock G-Bucks, cosmetics, and more at season’s end.
A world worth saving
The Gotchiverse may be digital, but it’s packed with whimsical landmarks and adorable creatures. Every map offers a fresh setting with wild mechanics and surprise events that force players to adapt—or get licked.
🌿 Prong Meadow – A lush forest where strategy is grounded—literally. Toggle a central bridge (for a price!) to block enemy paths or open new ones, and watch out for events that reroute the horde from below.
💧 Rickety River – Two bridges. Two crabs. Infinite sabotage. Defend the central island while deciding which bridge gets the moving crab tower platform next—because once it’s placed, it’s everyone’s problem.
🔥 Mount Oomf – Pure mayhem. Lava, landslides, and the mighty Fomosaurus, a mythical dinosaur that attacks anything in sight—Licks or Guardians. Pay to spawn even stronger versions and unleash them on everyone. Fireballs optional. Regret guaranteed.
From serene meadows to volcano-choked arenas, every location is a test of timing, tactics, and just a little bit of trolling.
And this is just the beginning—new maps, events, and surprises are already in the works.
