Relic Guardian - Tower Defense

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0.8/day in the week after.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.

Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Compared to other Tower Defense games, Relic Guardian feels much more chaotic, with a far greater degree of player involvement. It's a ton of hectic fun at times to try and keep up with it all, yet there's a decent layer of strategy as well, as expected of this genre. The difficulty of Hard Mode feels perfectly tuned for the most part— challenging, but doesn't feel unfair at all, with the exception of a couple ridiculous levels where I had to switch to Normal. The game's worst flaw is that some of the enemies are just absurdly powerful, to the point where you would want to focus all of your firepower on them... except there's no option to "Target Strong" like in Bloons Tower Defense; rather, your towers will always target the furthest forward enemy no matter what. This leads to a lot of moments where your melee army gets completely rolled over by an enemy with 15,000 health, while you scramble to mount some kind of scuffed defense to deal with it. The different heroes you can choose from (or "Pani" as they are known in this game) are all fun and add variety to how you approach a level. That being said, they are pretty unbalanced and vary wildly in strength, with the strongest one having an AOE instakill ability that works on any enemy, and the weakest one being the equivalent of shoveling money into the fireplace just by using her. Music wise, Relic Guardian's soundtrack is just straight-up Kevin Macleod songs— not even joking. Thankfully, they fit the game pretty well, and I didn't even notice until the credits rolled and I saw his name in there. The soundtrack is unremarkable, but decent. The artstyle used in this game is pretty nice, and fits the fun and chaotic nature of the game perfectly. It's cute, colourful, and has a lot of anime girls for some reason. I especially like the tower and enemy designs. TL;DR: it's a somewhat scuffed game, but still a great one regardless.
