Glossary Entry: Tower Defense

Quick Definition

A "tower defense" game (or minigame) has the player attempt to protect a structure from waves of enemy attackers. However, the player usually does not attack directly; instead, they build towers and walls to create a deadly maze that the enemy armies cannot get through.

In other words, the player is defending something using towers.
