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.

Gotchi Guardians is an addicting tower defense game with dynamic characters and exciting re-playability. The Aavegotchis are so cute!! I highly recommend the XP fountain while it is still available! Great way to catch that extra XP!
Fun et super simple à prendre en main. Deviens tactique et addictif en partie multiplayer. Belle progression depuis la toute première version :)
I've been playing Gotchi Guardians since it first launched, and I've been playing it every week/sometimes every day, for over a year now. I never get bored of it, and I'm thrilled that it's on Steam. Well done, team! Keep developing this game—it deserves it.

Игра "Gotchi Guardians - Tower Defense" – это приятный и увлекательный представитель жанра tower defense. Милый пиксельный стиль и очаровательные Гочи не могут не привлекать внимание, а умеренная сложность делает игру доступной для новичков, но все же заставляющей задуматься опытных стратегов. Разнообразие врагов и башен добавляет глубины геймплею, побуждая экспериментировать с различными комбинациями и тактиками. Особенно радует система улучшений, позволяющая кастомизировать башни под свой стиль игры. Пожалуй, единственным недостатком можно назвать некоторую однообразность карт, но это компенсируется динамичным геймплеем и желанием опробовать все возможности для защиты своих Гочи. В целом, "Gotchi Guardians" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет простую, но затягивающую игру в жанре tower defense. Рекомендую!
I was never really a fan of tower defense games, until Gotchi Guardians. This one completely hooked me. The art style is gorgeous, but what really got me is how every decision matters and how strategic the gameplay feels. The Brute Force tower on Prong Meadow was a total game-changer for me. It completely shifts the way you approach the map and proves how much depth the game really has. Playing online with other people takes it to another level. It’s not just about defending anymore — you’re watching your opponents, checking if they’ll survive longer than you, and that extra layer of competition makes it so much more exciting. And then there’s Mount Oomf. Calling the Fomosaurus is both hilarious and terrifying, because the more of them you summon, the less time you’ll last. Pure chaos in the best way possible. Overall, Gotchi Guardians is the kind of game that looks simple at first glance but pulls you in with depth, variety, and seriously addictive multiplayer. If you’re looking for a real challenge with matches that never play out the same, this is it.
It's a tower defense game, but with these super cute gotchi pets that are also your soldiers. Building a squad of your faves is half the fun fr. The gameplay is pretty strategic, and the bosses will really humble you. The art style is so clean and colorful, the whole vibe is just chef's kiss. My only complaint is that it can get a little grindy later on, but honestly, it's a solid game. 10/10 would recommend for sure. Its a good time, bet. 😂👍
Nice tower Defence, bringing elements of roguelite, autobattler, RPG skill tree. Glad that there is a daily XP earning limit, else i wont know when to stop. Highly recommended to try it out.
Amazing game, i can't stop playing. I found it by getting an invite to the play-test and i wish i knew about it sooner maybe join before. The towers and enemies don't have that much variety but mix that with items, different upgrades for towers, seeds to upgrade towers and choice between perks on each wave end and you have a recipe for fun. One of the best tower defence's i played, highly recommended.
