Age of Thrones is a medieval-fantasy tower defense game by us, NEXRAGE (2-manned indie team) and has been in development for about a year.

Fight against waves of orcs, dragons, trolls, death knights, undead and more dark creatures to defeat the Dark Lord of Thrones and save the kingdom of Armos!

Age of Thrones is a free-style tower defense/strategy game that lets you make your own path, and control how you want to defeat the enemy!

Design your own path to victory with 16 different types of towers, spells, and talent trees. Build towers, castles and use hero spells to glory!

I also get inspired when I run WoW at 60 fps
You probably want to move that comma "Vibrant and bright art style inspired by World of Warcraft, running at a fluid 60 FPS"

Grammar nazi aside, you mentioned '4 different castles' to build. What castles do in the game?
The art is also lovely, it's hard seeing TDs with such good art

The third screenshot reminds me of Lurker Defense from the original Starcraft. Good times. I would've loved playing this game but I only play PC games so no good for me. Looks great though!

Thanks for the typo!

Yes I agree on the art style, the iOS/Android stores are filled with TD games with subpar graphics, we really wanted this game to visually look beautiful.

So the way the castles work is think of it as a "hero tower", and we have it so depending on which castle you put down, it will boost/power up those types of towers.

For example, a Wizard's Castle, will greatly increase damage of all Wizard Towers placed on playing field.

Also a PC build of this game is not completely off the table!

If you port to PC you are going to probably catch a lot of hell. My team and I are working on a fantasy based tower defense game right now as well, although it is drastically different than yours. I researched the genre quite a bit and discovered that tower defense games get absolutely railed on sites like Greenlight. You'll hear a lot of "this is iOS/NewGrounds/Flash garbage and doesn't belong on X," and various other nonsense. You'll probably also hear a bunch of idiotic statements about how it is a "Kingdom Rush clone" from people who don't even look past your basic aesthetic.

It is good that you are striving to set yourself apart. I think the game looks great, and I (obviously) love tower defense myself, so I know that I will definitely be checking it out in the future. I wish you the best of luck.

Game is still being worked on, we may have to delay it a bit as we are in talks with publishers and its really not a good time to release another TD game with all the 'bigger' ones being currently released!
