Tower Necromancer's

You start in a basic stone tower with a few rooms and a graveyard out front. The first few waves are easy--soldiers with swords march up the path, and you just grab them with your finger or mouse cursor and fling them into the air. They die on impact, usually. The satisfying part is the sound they make when they hit the ground or a wall, a satisfying crack, and the little puff of souls that pops out. Those souls are your currency. You collect them automatically, and they let you summon skeletons from the bone piles scattered around your tower. Skeletons are dumb but cheap. Zombies cost more but have more health and do more damage when they reach melee range. The basic loop is: waves come, you grab and throw enemies, you collect souls, you summon minions, you upgrade your tower rooms. Upgrades include adding spike traps to the base of the tower, raising the walls to slow down battering rams, or enchanting your minions with fire damage so they set archers on fire. Later on, archers appear--you can't just throw them because they shoot at your minions from a distance. You have to prioritize them or let your skeletons handle them while you focus on bigger threats like knights with shields, which are heavy and take multiple throws to kill. The game calls them Shieldbearers. By wave 15 or so, you get the Necromancer's Eye upgrade, which lets you see enemy weak points highlighted in red. That changes everything--you start aiming for those spots to one-shot enemies. There's also a mechanic called Soul Burst where you hold two fingers down (or hold both mouse buttons) to release a shockwave that damages all enemies in range. It has a cooldown, so you hoard it for emergencies. The difficulty spikes hard around wave 25 when siege weapons show up--catapults and trebuchets that target your tower directly. You can't grab those, only your minions can damage them, so you have to summon fast and repair your tower walls between waves. The satisfying moments come when you time a Soul Burst perfectly to wipe out a group of archers just as they're about to overrun your skeletons, or when you fling a Shieldbearer into a catapult and both explode. Later levels have names like The Iron Tide and The Brothers' Revenge, where waves come from two directions at once. You have to split your minions and manage two frontlines. The tower itself can be expanded sideways with new rooms that unlock passive bonuses--a Skeleton Forge that makes them stronger, a Zombie Lab that lets you combine two zombies into a bigger one called The Brute. That thing is slow but hits like a truck. There's also a research tree for spells, but you need rare soul shards dropped by elite enemies. Those elites glow purple and have names like The Plague Knight or The Arcane Archer. Killing them feels great because they drop those shards and a ton of souls. The game doesn't hold your hand past the first few waves.
