MAUL / TACTICS

Build the maze. Break the wave.

Every tower changes the path enemies have to walk. Make them take the long way round, find your favourite race, and put your maze to the test in Story Campaign, solo challenges or online battles.

The maze is yours

You build the path.

Place towers to fold the route back on itself. Slow a crowd at a tight corner, catch it with splash damage, or stretch the path past your strongest guns. Each placement changes what the wave has to survive.

Then choose your upgrades. Different branches give a tower different jobs, so a good build depends on the race, the route and what's coming next. In versus modes, sending creatures also raises your income and puts pressure on the other board.

The Broken Roads

Xulgath has taken the Crown and closed the roads between fifteen towns. Lead a repair crew, borrow each defender's tower kit and pass their battle test to open the next road.

Each chapter introduces a race. First clears earn Character Cards, and bonus goals give you a reason to return for more stars. All races are already available in the full game, so campaign progress never gives you extra power in multiplayer.

10 named rivals

The Gauntlet

Take on a separate ladder of AI rivals, each with their own race and play style. Beat the ladder, then come back for better star ratings.

You versus the AI

Skirmish

Pick your race, choose an opponent and try a different build. A good place to get familiar with a tower kit before taking it online.

Solo or with friends

Wave Survivor

Build for the long haul against escalating waves and bosses. Everyone faces the same waves, with no creep-sending between boards.

1v1 or 2–4 player free-for-all

Online battles

Build your defence and send creatures to pressure the other players. Spend carefully, watch their mazes and find the gap. Internet and Steam sign-in required.

Which platforms can I play on?

Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), and Linux. The current Mac build does not support Intel Macs. You can find the full system requirements on Steam.

Do I have to play online?

No. Story Campaign, Gauntlet, Skirmish and solo Wave Survivor are single-player modes. Online matches require an internet connection and Steam sign-in.

Do I need to finish Story to unlock the races?

No. All 15 races are available from the start in the full game. Story lets you get familiar with their tower kits and earn Character Cards, without unlocking competitive power.

Where can I report a bug or leave a suggestion?

Head to the Bug Reports & Suggestions forum. Mention your platform, game mode, and what happened. Screenshots and steps to reproduce the issue help too.

A solo project.
Now out in the world.

I grew up playing the old custom-map maze tower defences. Maul Tactics is my take on that feeling: building a winding route, finding a tower combination that works, and seeing whether it holds. Thanks for giving it a go.

Found a bug, have a balance thought, or reckon something could be clearer? I'd love to hear it. The Steam discussions have a dedicated place for reports and suggestions.
