“Defense Derby” is a captivating strategy game belonging to the Tower Defense genre, offering players a fresh level of enjoyment through intense mind games and powerful synergy effects among cards.

The early access test will continue until May 11, and interested players can download the game from Google Play to participate. This phase is crucial for gathering feedback and improving the game’s overall quality before its official launch.
“Defense Derby” introduces a new system and mode that were not available in the previous global pre-release test version. Firstly, the card acquisition method has been revised. At the beginning of each match, players receive two cards from their chosen deck, with the opportunity to obtain an additional card by defeating a boss monster.
Additionally, players can merge units during battles, introducing a strategic element to the gameplay. The early access test version also includes the “Path of Guardian,” a step-by-step growth system that serves as a milestone, offering new objectives and rewards to enhance players’ enjoyment. Progression on the “Path of Guardian” depends on derby points and league progression, granting rewards such as Hero/Unit cards, castle appearances, and unlocked content.
Another exciting mode available during the early access test is the event mode called “Derby Free Fight – Mirror Match,” where all players can engage in Derby battles using the same provided deck. This mode ensures an equal playing field, fostering thrilling mental battles between participants.
“Defense Derby” distinguishes itself with its unique scouting system, prompting players to predict their opponents’ moves and make bold strategic decisions. The game’s strategic card deployment creates various synergy effects, leading to immersive gameplay experiences and intense moments of anticipation.
