Build a town from cards. Defend it from monsters.

Free demo: out now · Early Access: 16 April 2027

In short

Grimlane is a pixel-art tower defense game with a deck of cards. You draw tower, building and spell cards from your deck and decide what to put on the field. Your town stands next to the road the monsters walk: buildings earn gold, and towers defend you. The game has a story campaign, an endless mode with a leaderboard, and online co-op for two players.

What makes it different

Build your own deck

Play a premade deck or build your own from towers, buildings and spells. A second copy of a tower card upgrades that tower on the field and gives it a new ability.

Grow your town and its economy

A growing town earns gold, and strong towers defend the road. Balance your economy and your defense.

Choose your hero

In endless mode you can hire a hero: the Huntress, the Crusher, the Lich, the Mechanic and others. Every hero has different abilities, so each one needs its own strategy.

Defeat every boss

A boss comes every tenth wave. Hand Man steals cards from your hand and carries towers away, Kagr is protected by his wagons, and the Corpse Pile grows when skeletons join it.

How many waves can you hold?

In endless mode every run is played on a new random map. Enemies get stronger with every wave, and the best results go to the leaderboard.

Play with a friend

Two towns on one field, crossing roads and shared lives: work together to defend them.
