About
Islets Defense is a turn-based tower defense game focused on resource management in which you build a small and efficient village to support your towers and secure victory.


A turn consists of executing one of the four available actions, each with its own unique functionality. The order of the cards plays a key role, with the rightmost card offering a stronger effect. After completing your turn, the chosen card moves to the leftmost position, pushing the others one step forward. Consistent and efficient use of all four cards is key to building a solid defense.


Allocate your towers in strategic positions, sustain them with food, upgrade them with wood and stone, and ensure a strong defense against the slimes. Chests and stage modifiers will offer new strategic opportunities, with unique towers and various upgrades to explore.


Each building has different upgrade options for you to choose from. Build the most efficient village by making smart decisions that synergize with your positioning strategy!


The mist has covered your entire kingdom! You start the game with an unexplored map, ready to be revealed! Use the exploration action to reach new resources, gain visibility for your attack towers, and discover hidden treasures!


Advance through stages, complete challenges, and earn diamonds and feathers to unlock and face different biomes! Islets Defense is the game for those looking for a classic tower defense experience mixed with the chilling vibes of a resource management game, all wrapped up in easy-to-understand mechanics filled with creative possibilities.

25+ different building structures, each with their own unique abilities.
A 15-stage campaign featuring distinct modifiers, level design, biomes, and challenges.

https://youtu.be/oXPl8IkaCcA Merging Tower Defense with Spinning Plate styles works rather well and keeps the decision making complex.

Decent turn based tower defense/resource management. Works well
What a great TD/city builder hybrid. I'm mostly a fan of TD games, I don't enjoy city builders that are very complex. Islets defense has just the right amount of building for me. This game has justs the right amount of content for the very modest asking price. After ten hours of gameplay I'm just about to start the fifth and final environment, each enviroment has three levels. Even levels in the same enviroment have slightly different gameplay elements from each other. Looking forward to any future games from this developer.
quando você menos esperar, vai deitar pra dormir e ficar pensando em estrategias pra passar as fases........ dito isso jogo MARAVILHOSO 1000/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game has exceeded my expectations! It's been a long time since I've played a tower defense game, and I figured I may as well try it since I got it as a mystery key online. I have so far finished the first three biomes and it's crazy fun, the way it manages to keep things fresh with biome-specific gimmicks, random minigames and traps for the player made me appreciate how well the developers managed to entertain the player through this tried and tested game format with a great spin. I also enjoy the turn-based, resource management aspect of it as it makes you think how to balance things out, and while I haven't much tried to take part in the leaderboard or hardcore mode, they seem like great ways to boost replayability and you just can't help but start to wonder how you could beat your PB, which is great. Criminally underrated, I'd encourage anyone to give it a try!
It's a really fun kinda cozy turn based city builder. The difficulty spike is ridiculous though. It's quite easy for the first 10 levels and then all of a sudden outta nowhere comes an extremely difficult one that I can't get past after a dozen tries. There are no difficulty settings not tips & tricks in game. Fun while it lasted though.
Impossibile, ti servono costantemente troppe risorse.
