Wicked Lair

Build deep dungeons and spawn vicious creatures to defeat the heroes from above in Wicked Lair.

Fans of tower defense and dungeon building games.

Why we picked this?

Wicked Lair allows you to be bad. Instead of playing the hero, it’s up to you to build up your dungeons to fend off the invaders from above and eventually destroy their town with your own attacks. You’re able to choose from nine distinct dungeon types and unleash more than 100 different creatures. Set devious traps, attract powerful boss creatures, and, when things get really hairy, support your creatures by casting powerful spells.

You’re tired of the same old tower defense game. It provides a rather unique experience thanks to its genre-mashing mechanics.

You’re impatient. Like other games in the genre, it can take a bit for the action to really kick in.
