About 核心防线 core defense line

✦ AI summary

Defend your core against waves of viruses by building custom attack circuits from 50+ modular plugins that chain together in creative combinations, creating everything from laser reflects to mind-control strikes. This minimalist roguelike tower defense strips away traditional towers entirely, replacing them with an elegant signal-routing system where plugin order and card timing are everything, delivering fresh strategic possibilities on every run.

Background Story

You are a cloud operations engineer. In 'Core Defense Line,' the work you have been responsible for over the years has always involved intrusion defense. Now, a large-scale virus invasion is brewing. Please take over your defensive line, protect the core, resist continuous virus invasions, customize and build your defenses, construct cards, install various creatively designed plugins, giving you multiple ways to attack, repair outer nodes, while also providing more convenient defense.

What kind of game is this?

This is a minimalist geometric game that combines card building, tower defense, and Roguelite elements. Beyond the set levels, you can also continue to challenge an endless mode.

Who is this game for?

Tired of traditional tower defense games? While other tower defense games have a variety of towers, this game has only one attack tower. However, you can attach various modules in front of the tower to change its attack methods. The combination of multiple styles allows you to enjoy killing enemies efficiently.

Gameplay

This game features dual construction mechanics (cards and defensive lines). After each daily battle, you will randomly receive different modules, devices, and cards, and you can freely choose your path. You can go to the shop to buy modules, devices, or cards. You need to properly arrange the sequence of different modules to achieve the highest attack efficiency, and various modules also have interactions.For example:
  • Range Burn with Tracking (the flame area you launch is not just fixed burning on the ground, but a flame area that can follow enemies and burn them continuously, incinerating nearby enemies)
  • Reflection with Laser (the laser you launch will reflect at the same angle when it hits the edge of the map)
  • Burning with Poison (effects that can both burn and poison)
  • Laser with Duplication (a single launch can fire multiple lasers)
  • More build combinations are waiting for you to discover
