About the game
Starvoxel: Defender 2.0 is live on iOS and Android. Store availability can vary by country.
Short: Starvoxel: Defender is a merge tower defense for iPhone and Android. Collect 30 creature defenders, merge two of a kind into stronger forms, and guard your star in solo, head-to-head and co-op play.
Long: Players build a deck of eight creature cards, buy defenders from a hand of three each round and place them on a 3x3 board. Two identical defenders merge into the next star, doubling their damage. Every defender has its own ability, from Ember Fox's burning flamethrower to Arc Owl's inspiring aura, and the best decks combine them. The game has three modes: 100 solo Dungeon levels, a live 1 vs 1 Arena with seven trophy leagues, and online Co-op where two players share one star across five worlds of boss runs. It is free to play with no ads.
