Join the battle against invading humans in Idle Monster TD: Evolved, a never-ending tower defense game with over 150 unique monsters and pets, from cute and colorful flower creatures to epic fire breathing dragons. Strategize your monster placement and watch them evolve and gain new abilities to defend your base against the never-ending swarm of humans. Featuring 40 unlockable monsters with 3 evolutions each, 5 different maps, mini-games, and bi-weekly PvP tournaments. With offline progression and cute 3D graphics, it's a perfect blend of Idle and Tower Defense genres.


What we like:
  • Hidden depth to the game
  • Entertaining simple tower defense idler concept
What could be improved:
  • Aggressive monetization
  • Not a true idle game
  • Too much grinding and slow progress
  • Initial excitement fades quickly due to lack of challenge and small maps
