Warden's Edge Where to play: Coming soon
The Warden, an old wizard with a white beard, stands on his keep's wall with his staff. He reaches one hand into a small spinning circle of light, a great teal magic circle turns behind him, and a bolt of ward light strikes the monsters coming out of the dusk.

A tower defence roguelite

Warden's Edge

Hold the wall.

The game

One wizard. One wall. A lot of monsters.

Warden's Edge is a tower defence game you play right inside Telegram and Discord. Nothing to install. You are the Warden, an old wizard on the wall of his keep. Monsters come from the right. If they break the wall, the run is over.

How it plays

He fights. You choose.

The game itself, recorded: slimes at the wall, a Lightning Bolt on the pack, then a level-up and a card taken.
  1. Lightning strikes a pack of slimes in front of the wall

    Hold the wall

    Monsters walk in from the right. Your Warden's attack and spells fire by themselves. You never aim.

  2. The level-up screen: three cards to choose from, and a reroll

    Pick one of three

    Kills fill the XP bar. When it is full, the game pauses and you pick a card: a new spell, or a stronger one. One reroll each level.

  3. The War Wagon, a goblin boss, rolls up to the wall with its army

    Last to 5:00

    At 5:00 the monsters stop. Clear the field to win. On stages 5, 10 and 15, beat the boss too.

No two runs build the same Warden.

Ten spells. Three slots.

Hold three at a time, then make them stronger, card by card.

  • Lightning Bolt

    Calls lightning onto the nearest enemy; it strikes up to six around it.

  • Meteor

    A meteor falls on the enemies and bursts where it lands.

  • Ice Spikes

    Spikes erupt under the thickest crowd. Everything they hit bleeds, armour or not.

  • Rend

    Claws that strip armour, more with every hit.

  • Arc

    Chains from enemy to enemy, up to four jumps.

  • Beam

    A sweeping column that burns what it crosses.

  • Barrage

    A scatter of light tracers, three at a time.

  • Field

    A circle that stings everything inside it.

  • Ignite

    A burn that stacks and ignores armour.

  • Shatter

    Freezes enemies solid; a frozen death bursts.

Plus upgrades like Meteor Shower, Twin Bolt and Conflagration.

The campaign

Four chapters. Twelve bosses.

Each chapter is one monster family and 15 stages. Bosses wait on stages 5, 10 and 15. The 15th is the wall: the chapter's toughest fight, built to stop you until your gear is ready.

Slimes, small to huge, sliding toward the wall

Chapter I

The Slimes

Many and soft. They come in packs, and the packs keep coming.

  • Slime King
  • Magma Slime
  • Slime Mother
A goblin on a wolf, a goblin with an axe and a big armoured goblin on the march

Chapter II

The Goblins

Fast riders up front, armoured brutes behind.

  • Goblin King
  • Goblin Shaman
  • War Wagon
Ogres in armour with clubs and shields on the march

Chapter III

The Ogres

Few, slow and heavily armoured.

  • Ogre Warlord
  • Ogre Mage
  • Two-Headed Ogre
Spiders of every size scuttling toward the wall

Chapter IV

The Spiders

A swarm with teeth. Quick, many, and they reach the wall.

  • Spider Queen
  • Brood Mother
  • Giant Widow

Chapters V to VII are on the way.

Gear

Dress him for the fight.

Gear makes the Warden stronger, and you see it on him. Five slots: weapon, helmet, body piece, amulet and ring. Five rarities, from Common to Legendary.

  • Legendary weapon

  • Find it

    Gear drops in runs, and comes from first clears, the daily calendar and the season pass.

  • Raise it

    A Writ adds an item's next bonus, exactly as its card shows it: one rarity step up. Nothing random.

  • Temper it

    Re-roll an item's bonuses with Shards. The game shows each bonus's range first; the new numbers can be better or worse.

  • Forge it

    Turn Shards into a new item of your tier. Its slot and rarity are random, and the odds are shown in the game.

Infinite

How long can you hold?

No clock, no finish. The monsters keep coming, harder and harder, until the wall breaks.

Every Monday a new week starts. Your best Infinite time of the week places you in a league: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. The top of each division moves up, and the leagues pay out Shards and a crest.

  • Same run for everyone: the same monsters, in the same order, all week. Your gear counts.
  • Private: on the tables you are "Warden 4821", not your Telegram or Discord name.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs inside Telegram and Discord.

Which devices?

Anything that runs Telegram or Discord: iPhone, Android, tablets and computers. On a phone, turn it sideways.

Does my progress carry over between Telegram and Discord?

No. They are separate: your progress, items and Crowns stay on the platform where you got them.

What can I buy?

Nothing yet: the Store opens soon. It will sell Crowns (the game's currency), item deals, the Season pass, 2x speed and robe dyes, each with its price and exactly what you get shown before you pay. Nothing in it will be random, and Shards can't be bought.

How old do I have to be?

Old enough for Telegram or Discord: Telegram's terms say 18 in the European Union, and Discord's say 13. If you're under 18, read our terms with a parent, and ask them before you buy anything. The first time you open the Store, the game asks for your month and year of birth. If you tell it you're under 13, it plays on your device only: nothing can be bought, and leagues are off.

Which languages?

English for now. Support answers in English or Dutch.

Can I play everywhere?

Everywhere Telegram and Discord work, except in Telegram in Brazil.

What do you know about me?

As little as we can: your Telegram or Discord user id, your progress and purchases, and the month and year of birth you give the Store's age question. No ads, no tracking. This website sets no cookies and loads nothing from anyone else. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Need a hand?
