You are not the hero. You are the Demon King.

The pilgrims have left Chang'an. Sun Wukong leads the way — battle-hardened and relentless. Your Demon Throne is the last obstacle between him and the Buddhist scriptures. Hold the line, or watch the journey west succeed.

I Am the Demon King: Stop Sun Wukong is a roguelite tower defense auto-battler set in a reverse Journey to the West.

HOW IT WORKS

Each run unfolds in three phases:

1. Build Phase — Draft monster cards and drag them onto the battlefield grid. Spend Qi to activate magic traps on the ground.

2. Battle Phase — Combat starts automatically. Your demons hold their positions; the pilgrims and heavenly soldiers flood in from the right.

3. Rewards — After each stage, pick one of three: recruit a new unit, equip powerful gear, or learn a spell.

Clear all 10 stages and you stop the journey west — for now.

8 DEMON KINGS

Each Demon King has a unique passive that defines your strategy:

- Bull Demon King — Boosts ATK for all demon-faction allies.

- White Bone Demoness — Enemies she defeats rise again as skeleton soldiers on your side.

- Scorpion Queen — Stacks venom across multiple targets, melting high-HP enemies.

- Iron Fan Princess — Dramatically empowers fire and wind trap synergies.

- Yellow Wind Demon — Grants haste to all units at the start of each wave.

- Ox-Head — Massively increases front-row units' maximum HP.

- Red Boy — Deals bonus damage to human-faction enemies.

- Spider Demoness — Slows all incoming enemies on first contact.

24 MAGIC TRAPS

Build your killing ground with 24 trap types — Miasma, Landslide, Thunder, Frost, Flame Pit, Soul-Drain, and more. Stacking complementary traps creates devastating combos.
