About
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!

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.

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.

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.

LOVE this game. Haven't played a decent Tower Defence game in a while and now this comes along. Has it all: slick animations, colourful characters. varied gameplay + strategy plus its free to play! Early release of the game so understandably there can be some minor issues, but generally it ticks the main box - IT IS FUN. Looking forward to seeing this game develop further. Big up the GotchiGang!
I've really been enjoying this original take on a tower defense, with an auto-chess sort of battling procedure. Basically just surviving as long as you can while praying for good RNG. There is also a lot of strategy to it. It's pretty quirky and has a few bugs. (There's a weird buzzing signal that begins when I'm viewing the Leaderboards. And the math doing the XP level upgrade currency is way off. Says 1k to upgrade and I have 3k, next thing I know I'm down to 1k.) This game has tons of potential. Very original, but combines familiar elements of classic TDs and auto battler multiplayer survival.
For a tower defence fan this game is just rubbish.
Bu çok oyunculu roguelite kule savunma oyununda rakiplerinize uyum sağlayın, strateji geliştirin ve onları alt edin. Kuleleri yükseltin, güçlü eşyalar kullanın ve çılgınlığa dayanıp ayakta kalan son Muhafız olun!
Крутая TD. Основной плюс - бесплатная. Есть внутриигровые покупки за донат. Хотите прокачиваться быстрее - платите монету. Но главное - это не pay 2 win. Можно выигрывать и не закидывая в игру деньги.
Definitely the most fun and thrilling tower defense PvP game in the world. There is such a variety in towers and lickquidators you can play with, and based on that create a lot of different strategies to beat your enemies. Beside that, I really like that every map has its own mechanic which can completely change the way you are thinking and make or break your strategy. Items you can use with your Guardian are such an amazing boosters to you character and strategy as well. Every match is a new match, new strategy, new experience. Simply amazing!
weird voice grating on the ears gameplay sucks visuals are blinding
