Cursed Treasure 1.5

Ever grown tired of playing the "good guy" in games? In Cursed Treasure 1.5, heroic tropes are turned upside down. You step into the role of a powerful Dark Lord, defending your lair against bands of heroes intent on stealing five priceless, cursed gems.

Don't Let Them Touch the Gems!

Unlike traditional tower defense games where enemies simply travel from Point A to Point B, the heroes here aim to infiltrate your lair, grab the gems, and escape the map with them.

If an enemy carrying a gem is defeated, the gem drops right where they stood.

The gem will slowly drift back to its original position over time, but subsequent enemies can pick it up from the spot where it was dropped.

You only lose if all five gems are carried off the map. However, to earn the "Brilliant" rating, you must not let enemies touch a single gem.

Spells and Skills

Your towers won’t merely fire. You can also gather mana over time and directly impact the battlefield with three ultimate spells:

Cut Out: Clear away woods or other obstructions to make good building sites for new towers.

Frenzy: Temporarily increases the assault speed of a certain tower greatly. Good for killing difficult bosses.

Meteor: Unleash a storm of area-of-effect damage directly onto your enemies. It’s the ultimate lifesaver when a knight carrying a gem is about to escape the map.

Survival Strategy

Don't scatter your towers haphazardly. Look for curves or intersections where enemies are forced to loop back, and concentrate the firepower of all three tower types on that spot. A well-planned "kill zone" will crush any wave of attacks.

If a gem is carried too far away, don't panic. Spend your gold to build one or two small towers near the edge of the map to take out the carrier, then gradually rebuild your defenses while the gem slowly drifts back.

You earn experience points after every battle. Allocate them wisely across the Orc, Undead, or Demon skill trees; reducing construction costs or increasing your Mana cap can sometimes be more important than simply boosting raw damage.

Before each wave, hover your mouse over the skull icon to see which enemies are approaching. If the next wave consists entirely of heavily armored Knights, make sure your Crypt towers are ready.
