What is Evil Tower?
Evil Tower is a strategy game built around one loop: waves of enemies advance on your tower, you defend it, and between fights you spend the resources you earned on upgrades and perks. The idle part means your economy keeps growing while you plan; the roguelike part means the perks and station combinations you pick shape each run differently. Your goal is to survive the horde, strengthen the tower, and defend the wizard's throne long enough to win the war.
Controls for defending the tower
Evil Tower is played almost entirely with the mouse. The keyboard is used for menus and a tooltip toggle.

Perks, stations and roguelike builds
The depth in Evil Tower comes from how you build the tower between waves. You choose perks, customize stations, and combine upgrades so that no two runs play the same. An incremental resource system funds the whole thing, so the longer you hold out and the smarter you spend, the stronger your defense becomes.
| System | What it does |
|---|---|
| Perks | Passive bonuses you pick during a run to steer your build |
| Stations | Customizable tower slots that handle different threats |
| Action powers | Special abilities you throw manually at tough enemies |
| Incremental economy | Resources that grow over time to fund upgrades |
| Roguelike choices | Upgrade combinations that change each run |

Tips for surviving longer waves
- Spend early resources on economy upgrades so later waves fund themselves.
- Save your action powers for clustered enemies or the hardest attackers, not the first thing you see.
- Match your stations to the threats you are facing rather than upgrading one slot to the max.
- Read the perk choices carefully; a build with a clear focus survives longer than a scattered one.
- Let the idle economy tick while you plan the next set of upgrades instead of rushing the next wave.
Why the throne defense holds up
Evil Tower works because the idle economy and the roguelike picks pull in different directions. The economy rewards patience while the perks push you toward a build, so each wave becomes a small decision about where to spend. Playing the villain who has to defend rather than attack is a nice twist, and the medieval wizard framing gives the upgrades some character.
