About this game
Digital Defender O.R.C. is a blended tower defense and tactical RPG where you protect monsters from harm. Use an arsenal of obstacles, traps, and digital combatants to fend off digital assassins and defend the innocent.
DEPLOY UNITS
A variety of different monsters are willing to project digital avatars to help fight off the incoming assailants. Employ different monsters with different quirks, attack ranges, and elemental affinities to fend off incoming invaders. Slimes, dragons, skeletons, floating eyes, and many others can each lend their hand in their own way, acting as solutions for a variety of situations.
PLACE OBSTACLES
Force incoming foes to take a different route by blocking entry through doorways with firewalls, place data spikes to harm any who pass over them, delay the advance of opponents with a GOTO push, and more by placing obstacles along the path that the enemy will take.
OPERATE IN DIFFERENT PHASES
In the PREPARE PHASE you may place units and obstacles freely with what Bux you have, in preparation for the COMBAT PHASE.
In the COMBAT PHASE, enemies advance and attack on a turn-by turn basis, and between each turn you are afforded a single action while you generate more Bux each turn of inactivity.
Place a new unit, rally an existing unit for an extra attack, adjust the position of a unit, or even combat or pay off the enemy, and then the next round of combat happens. Choose your actions wisely!
PLAY MISSION MODE OR CAMPAIGN MODE
In MISSION MODE, you defend individual monsters from harm as their gallant defender. Each mission is an individualized and consistent challenge for you to overcome.
Or, take the fight to the doorstep of your foes in CAMPAIGN MODE, protecting your envoy and building your power as you advance towards the ever-changing heart of the enemy to stop their onslaught in a rogue-like sequence of levels that is never quite the same!

Digital Defender O.R.C V 1.0.7
Thank you for playing. Adjustments: An additional cameo of a friend's character in Mission Mode was added to reduce client visual redundancy. Client stage assignment was modified slightly Irrelevant information presented on obstacles when examined was reduced. A vestigial behavior where a firewall would take damage when an opponent passed over it with no additional effect was eliminated.Read full article on Community Announcements (Teddy)Patch NotesOfficial

BUGFIXES: Fixed an issue where envoy completion credit was wiped if the game was booted in fullscreen and then closed without settings being changed or a mission/campaign being completed.

Big thank you to players giving me feedback and info on bits that need adjustment. BUGFIXES: Further bugs regarding goal completion were fixed. Some descriptions that flooded out of available text space were shortened. Firewalls are no longer placable during combat phase to prevent game lockup when units adjust position. Should have been the case to begin with! Whoops! Stage goals in some stages were adjusted to better imply solution to the challenges presented in the stage Description of some units was adjusted to better clarify their utility (Orcs in particular)Read full article on Community Announcements (Teddy)Patch NotesOfficial
