How it plays
Up to four players each bring a hero with their own towers, plan the defence together during the build phase and then jump into the fight.
Sharing out lanes and tower types is most of the teamwork, and the loot grind keeps a regular group busy for a long time.
On PlayStation and Xbox two can also share one screen.
It is free to play.

“What Trendy seems to be developing is a guided missile aimed straight at every gamers pleasure centers. Four-player co-op? Check. Addictive tower defense gameplay? Check. Loot and leveling? Check. The potential for infinite replay value? Check.”
GameZone “A bigger, better, more refined take on the original concept… from what I’ve seen, following their hearts is already paying dividends, and I can’t wait to play more Dungeon Defenders 2.”
IGN “Other than The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, I can't think of a game that looks more like an honest-to-god cartoon.”
