About this game

Idle Defense Grid is a minimalist strategy game that combines classic tower defense mechanics with idle progression.

With clean visuals, smooth gameplay, and gradually increasing difficulty, Idle Defense Grid offers a relaxed yet strategic experience. Easy to understand but challenging to master, the game rewards smart planning and long-term thinking.
