Skel and Defense is a dungeon defense roguelike where you are the villain. Expand your lair room by room, fill it with deadly traps, and stand alone as a lowly skeleton against wave after wave of so-called heroes who think your treasure is theirs.
⚔️ Play the Dungeon Master, Not the Hero
Every dungeon crawler has a monster waiting in the dark. This time, it's you. By night, expand your dungeon and lay out your traps. By day, hold the line as heroes pour through the gates. Build, defend, repeat — and watch a humble crypt grow into a fortress no party can clear.
💣 26 Trap Rooms, Endless Combinations
Fireball, Lava Zone, Frost Mist, Icicle, Saw Blade, Poison Arrow, Electro Field and more — 26 trap rooms with their own effects, all waiting to be chained together. Stack rooms of the same element to unlock powerful synergies: chill intruders until they freeze in place, then set them ablaze. Poison them in a corridor they can't escape. The layout is yours. The heroes just have to survive it.
☠️ Transform Into Skel Warriors
Traps aren't your only weapon. Transform into skeleton warriors and take the fight to the invaders yourself: mage skels hurling fireballs from the back line, rogue skels flinging shurikens, shield skels raising barriers on the front line. When a trap isn't enough, finish the job in person.
🏆 7 Stages, Endless Mode and Global Rankings
Battle through seven stages, each with its own rewards, then push into Endless Mode, where the waves keep getting tougher. How deep can your dungeon go? Register a nickname in Options to join the ranking competition and see where you stand against the world.
🍀 30+ Perks — No Two Runs Alike
Before each stage, choose from more than 30 perks: powerful buffs, or risky debuffs that raise your bonus score. Go all-in on traps, lean on your Skel, or mix both. Every run plays differently, and every choice matters.
💪 Grow Stronger Run After Run
Clear waves, earn attribute points, and unlock permanent upgrades that make the next run even deadlier. Dig into the Collection to uncover hidden synergies, new rooms and powerful artifacts — there's always one more secret to find.
🎮 Full Controller Support
Prefer a gamepad? Every screen — from building rooms and picking perks to shopping, warping and browsing the Collection — works with a controller, with on-screen button prompts to guide you. Look around your dungeon with the right stick, then switch back to touch anytime.
🏰 Premium Dungeon Defense, Built to Be Replayed
Short sessions, deep strategy and a loop that keeps pulling you back for one more wave. Cloud save keeps your progress safe, and the game is available in 13 languages. Also available with Google Play Pass.
Perfect for fans of tower defense, roguelike and roguelite games, dungeon builder and base defense games, and survivor-style action.
The heroes are already on their way. Download Skel and Defense and show them who really rules the dungeon. 🏰
