“Idle Defense: Dark Forest Classic” narrates the story of a young wizard who, after accidentally burning down his wizard school, faces exile and a series of misfortunes. Upon returning home, he discovers that the ancestral seal amethyst has shattered, unleashing a horde of monsters that create chaos in the world. Armed only with a book on turret engineering, he resolves to protect his village and restore peace, using his magical talents.
The game features over ten types of towers, including Arrow, Magic, Stone, and Poison, which players can upgrade and evolve to enhance their power. Additionally, players can use elemental skills like Lightning and Frost Freeze to combat monsters and employ a research system to boost tower capabilities through extensive improvements. Players can summon up to 16 demons to assist in battles and will never face permanent defeat, as resurrection allows them to collect more resources.
The classic version of the game introduces several enhancements, such as easier demon acquisition, a new demon upgrade system, and the ability to unlock turrets without level restrictions. Players can engage in offline battles and benefit from richer in-game rewards and various optimizations. The game emphasizes strategic gameplay and community engagement through its Facebook pages for fans and the developer.
