Introduction
Cursed Treasure 1.5 is a top-down tower defense game developed by IriySoft, where you play as an evil overlord tasked with protecting a stash of cursed gems from waves of “good” heroes, such as ninjas, angels, and lizard riders, who aim to steal them. This version is a remake of the original Cursed Treasure, initially released as a Flash game in 2010 and updated to HTML5 in 2019 for broader platform support, including browsers and mobile devices. It features 15 levels with new upgrades, improved gameplay, and a focus on strategic tower placement to defend your treasures.
How to play
Controls
- Use the left mouse button to select and place towers, cast spells, and interact with the game interface.
- On mobile devices, tap or swipe to perform these actions.
Tower Types
You have three tower types, each tied to specific terrain:
- Dens (Orcs): Often good for basic damage and quick attacks.
- Crypts (Undead): Known for their long range and powerful single-target attacks, potentially with fear or freeze effects.
- Temples (Demons): Can have area-of-effect damage or debuffs.
Upgrading
- As your towers attack enemies, they gain experience.
- You can upgrade your towers to increase their damage, range, attack speed, and unlock special abilities. Each tower type has multiple upgrade tiers.
- Selling a tower can also be a strategic move to re-allocate resources or change your defense strategy
Enemy
- Ninjas: Fast and can turn invisible, requiring precise timing or fear-inducing towers.
- Angels: Fly over ground obstacles, needing specific tower strategies.
- Champions: High-health bosses that demand heavy firepower or multiple spell casts.
Use magic
- Beyond towers, you have access to powerful spells that consume mana.
- Spells like Meteor can deal massive area damage, while others might clear trees to create new tower placement opportunities or boost your towers temporarily.
- Hotkeys: Use Q, W, E to cast your spells.
By mastering tower placement, judiciously using spells, and wisely investing in your skill tree, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the ultimate evil Overlord and protecting your cursed treasures.
