About Expand TD

Expand TD is a tower defense roguelite where every run grows beyond your starting base.

Explore and expand the map between waves, discover new locations, and decide how to use the opportunities you find. Build towers and traps, develop your economy, and adapt your defenses as new enemies and terrain reshape the battlefield.

Not everything you uncover is there to help you. The map is filled with abandoned structures, resources, unusual encounters, hidden rewards, and threats that can change the course of a run.

When your base falls, the run ends — but your progress doesn’t. Earn Technology Points and use them to unlock new defenses and upgrades for future attempts.

Features

  • Build and upgrade different towers and traps
  • Explore an expanding map between waves
  • Discover locations, events, rewards, and dangers
  • Fight enemies with different armor, support abilities, and special behaviors
  • Unlock permanent upgrades through roguelite progression
  • Adapt your strategy across 4 biomes
  • Continue playing in Endless Mode
