Garnering a mass of Very Positive reviews on Steam, many have been enjoying the unique tower-defense gameplay of Warstone TD since its launch in 2018. Now, Warstone TD: Gold Edition offers Xbox gamers the best way to play this fantasy strategy title on console.
Unique Systems
Releasing today on Xbox consoles, Warstone TD: Gold Edition sees you rescue your humble village from the might of an invading army force. You are a true hero, destined to save your community from a wretched evil villain. It’s a bit of luck, then, that you have the power of dwarves, witches, amazons and many other units at your disposal. And better still, all are eager and waiting to rain down fire on waves of incoming enemies.
In many ways, Warstone TD: Gold Edition is classic tower-defense action. Hordes of foes will come down a clear pathway, intent on getting to the end of the level to damage your village. Along the way, you can place a variety of units to attack enemies as soon as they approach. Where the difference is, however, is in how you can build your units.
Levels will start with you just a few units to place, and as the round progresses, defeated foes will drop further ‘stones’, with which you can add new units into the battle. Instead of an ever-filling resource metre, you are rewarded by killing enemies. Kill, kill, and kill some more, my dear warrior!

Game Description
Warstone is a Tower Defense game with RPG elements, strategy and city building. A dreaded chieftain is assembling an army intent on taking over the kingdom. Villagers cry out for a hero, help them to rise up against the forces of this feared villain.
Construct buildings to strengthen your village, train your army and equip your allies. Look for key-assistance in other villages, such as dwarves, amazons, and witches. With their help and the strengthening of your army, lead missions, defeat the invaders and make the region a safe place again. We are stronger together!
Unlike regular Tower Defense games, Warstone TD has a unique method of summoning defenders (towers represented by player’s allies and army). You start a mission with a fairly empty map and a few stones where you can place defenders. As the level progresses, more stones appear and some even drop from enemies, allowing you to place them in any valid position on the map. Powerful warstones also occasionally appear, which give significant bonuses to specific defenders when placed on them.
You can summon any of the army’s base classes on the stones. Each base class has its own specialization path, type of damage, gold cost, and special abilities. With such a variety of defenders and gameplay classes, there’s a huge amount of tactics, further increasing replayability!
Warstone is a really fun game. I’m playing the Xbox version and it’s been a lot of fun deploying warriors and managing the village.
