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.

weird voice grating on the ears gameplay sucks visuals are blinding
Gotchi Guardians (GG) is a strategy game and GG certainly belongs in the Tower-Defense category. But describing it as another Tower-Defense-Game wouldn't do GG justice. In classical TD-games you defended a static target, whereas in GG you are defending a moveable entity - your Gotchi. But what makes Gotchi Guardians one of its kind are your ... your Gotchis' ...actively enacted real-time tactical decisions turning the tides in each of the battles. Features: + Multi-Player! You will not only battle state-of-the-art AI! Bringing the full potential of Gotchi Guardians to bear, you can play with up to seven other players, whose decisions are impacting each other... (wake a Fomosaurus, if you are prepared - or.... if you think the others are not...;) - complex game-play - "Steep learning curve" finding a strategy that works for you and optimizing your tactics could take a while + even after mastering a strategy and corresponding tactics, there are still many others to learn + Outstanding Artwork! Gotchi Guardians is astoundingly fast-paced, but nonetheless deeply immersive! - caution: highly addictive, especially if you have a knack for Strategy and Progression. Bonus: Freshly from the shop already delivering hours and days of fun, the game is still being developed further: player-feedback is highly valued by the creators and you find a community of very active gamers!

Gotchi Gaurdians somehow manages to blend tower defense, multiplayer pvp, and roguelite elements into a beautiful masterpiece that can be played endlessly. 10/10.

I woke up in a cold sweat last night, dreams of Brute Force cacti defending me double-barrel firing thorns at a giant T-Rex chasing me around a volcano. Needless to say, I'm quickly getting obsessed with Guardians. For me, its the chaos wrapped in careful strategy. I am exploring the different towers and how they match up against various enemies. I'm just scratching the surface and still shooting to win first place in a match. The soundtrack is a special treat as well. I played all the Donkey Kong Country games and definitely recognize the vibe David Wise is delivering here!
AAVESOME GOTCHi GUARDiANS GAME!!! SO MUCH CHAOTIC FUN TO SURVIVE FROM LICKS ATTACKS!!! THOSE AAMAZING TOWER TO BUILD ARE THE PERFECT DEFENSE!!! LOVE TO PLAY IT ON STEAM!!! LFGG!!!
Super fun and chaotic tower defense! This one’s been a blast to play. Fast-paced matches, random events every round, and a wild mix of towers and fun enemies make it feel super fresh every time. The PvPvE setup keeps the tension high without being stressful, and there’s always that one twist that changes everything mid-game (looking at you Prong Meadow bridge... XD) The visuals are really charming, and the whole thing has a really playful energy that stands out. If you like tower defense with personality and replay value, this one’s absolutely worth the time imo!
Gotchi Guardians is one of those games that hooks you instantly. At its core it’s a tower defense, but it goes way beyond the basics.. every round feels alive because you’re not just defending, you’re experimenting with different tower synergies and strategies. The art style is fun and charming, with that unmistakable Aavegotchi vibe. The enemies each have their own quirks, so the challenge ramps up naturally and keeps you on your toes. And then there are the Guardians themselves.. unlocking and upgrading them adds this addictive layer of progression that makes every run feel rewarding. What really stands out, though, is the community. You can actually earn rewards while you play, share strategies with other players, and feel part of a growing ecosystem that’s more than just a game. It’s rare to find something that blends casual fun, competitive depth, and a rewarding atmosphere this seamlessly. If you’re into tower defense games, into Aavegotchi, or just curious about games that are not P2W, Gotchi Guardians is absolutely worth diving into. The team is amazing as well, posting dev logs and updates every week. New maps and new guardians coming soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gotchi Guardians is super fun and a cool new take on tower defense games. The different guardians and towers let you mix up strategies as you see fit, and the PvP multiplayer is a really nice touch. The graphics and animations are done really well- and make the game a lot more enjoyable. If you're looking for a new tower defense game- this is it!
