Winter Wars Overview
Winter Wars was one of those solid, straightforward tower defense games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to reinvent the genre, but it offered a clean, focused experience that kept you clicking for a while. You'd load it up on a site like Kongregate or Armor Games, and it just worked, no fuss.
You control a cursor, placing turrets along winding snowy paths to stop waves of creeps from reaching your base. Your main objective is to survive all the waves, using the income from defeated enemies to build and upgrade your defenses. The core loop involves constantly adjusting your layout, researching new turret types between rounds, and upgrading existing ones for more firepower. The pacing is steady, with difficulty that creeps up on you, demanding smarter placement and resource management as the paths split and enemy types diversify. It feels like a quiet, persistent puzzle of fire and ice, where a single misplaced turret can unravel your entire strategy.
