This is the Official Demo Version of Decimation 

Tower defense where YOU are the deciding factor. This isn't passive strategy. You command a hero on the battlefield with ARPG-style combat while managing tower defenses. Perfect tower placement means nothing without playing your hero to the fullest.

ACTIVE HERO COMBAT

Control your hero directly with ARPG-style combat:

• 4 active hero abilities that charge from defeated enemies or use cooldown timers

• Avoid enemy attacks, pick up power-up orbs, and execute precise skill rotations

• Your hero's performance determines victory or defeat—towers alone won't save you

ROGUELITE BATTLE EFFECTS

Elite enemies drop power-up orbs that pause combat and present 3 random choices from 15 game-changing battle effects:

• Direct damage strikes, speed manipulation, damage amplification, resource boosts and more

• Different effects each run keep battles fresh and unpredictable

• Strategic timing of these effects can turn losing situations into clutch victories

RPG PROGRESSION 

Upgrade your hero and arsenal between battles:

• Level up your hero to spend skill points

• Craft equipment from battle loot to equip on towers and heroes

• Unlock new strategic options as you acquire new equipment modules

TACTICAL TOWER DEFENSE

Place and upgrade towers with distinct roles while fighting alongside them. Resource management, positioning, and timing matter—but your hero skills are what clinch victory.
