Dungeon Defenders is a tower defense game where between one to four players work together to protect one or more Eternia Crystals from being destroyed by waves of increasing larger and more difficult enemy monsters. The game features a number of levels, consisting of around five total waves, through its campaign mode, or other levels as part of challenges;
some of these levels may feature a final wave that includes a boss
battle against a unique foe. The player characters defend crystals by
either magically creating, maintaining, and upgrading towers or other
defensive elements that damage or divert the enemy monsters, or by using
melee and ranged attacks to defeat enemies directly. On easier
difficulties, players have an indefinite amount of time prior to a wave
to study the level's map to see where monsters will come from and the type or number of monsters,
to place traps and defenses, and to manage the characters' equipment.
Traps and defenses are limited by the available mana that the character
has - more mana can be obtained by killing monsters or opening chests
that appear between waves - as well as a total "defense value" for the
level, limiting the number of traps that can be placed. The characters
can be damaged by enemy attacks,
and can be killed in battle but will respawn after a few seconds,
unless Hardcore mode is selected. If an Eternia Crystal has taken too
much damage, it will be destroyed and the players will lose that level.
Successfully defending a wave will earn the characters experience points
in the form of banked mana based on the difficulty plus additional
bonuses, such as preventing any damage to the crystals; successfully
completing all waves of a level will earn the players a large banked
mana boost. Monsters will also drop items that can be sold for additional banked mana.
