Introduction
This wiki is about the endless game "The King of Towers" deployed to several platforms (Facebook, Armor Games, Kongregate) by Shinezone and is currently free-to-play with a built in cash shop to entice players to spend money.
The core game-play of The King of Towers is in the Tower Defense (TD) style in which players defend against onslaught of enemies by building towers to attack the enemies as they try to reach the end of a defined path. There are 4 basic types of towers: Archer, Mage, Cannoner, and Warrior. Players are also able to control up to 3 (of 4) different heroes to assist them in the battle. Role playing (RPG) elements are mixed in to level up towers and increase hero strength as players gain experience and purchase upgrades.
Aside from the TD portion of the game, players must interact with their virtual stronghold regularly to gain resources and gold required to increase their power. Such activities include; PvP Arena battles, collecting taxes, forging equipment, farming for resources, launching ship raids to plunder resources, and enslaving other players. Most of these activities are on cooldown timers and therefore require players to regularly check back to complete a task. Special themed events are also consistently held to encourage gameplay and offer rewards for completion but frequently require monetary investments to obtain meaningful rewards.
While the game is free-to-play, use of the (expensive) cash shop is highly encouraged and offer significant power upgrades or time savings to players who choose to pay. As many of the events & activities in this game are based on PVP, this creates a significant advantage to paying users compared to their free counterparts. Of particular note is obtaining "Dark Soul Crystal" which are utilized in almost all major upgrades and highly sought after. Aside from direct purchases with $$, most crystals are obtained through the PvP arena. Most players will obtain 1 Crystal every three days and must wait weeks - months for critical upgrades. Top ranked players may obtain up to 10x more enabling much faster progression and therefore become quickly unmatched. New players, especially free users, should seek to start their adventure on a new server as paying veterans will crush any hopes of meaningful advancement which can make this game exceptionally frustrating.
Everything is about money (not all), neither skill nor brain used in upgrade part, at least there is no P2P content.
