Everwave is a co-op tower defense game with endless waves, playable free in your browser. Here's how it fits together.
The basics
Pick a map and a difficulty, place towers along the path, and upgrade them as the waves grow stronger. There's no final wave: the goal is to see how deep you can push. In Hardcore mode, a single leak ends the run.
Towers and maps
There are 44 towers and six maps: Serpent, Spiral, Estuary, Gorge, Junction and Meadow. New towers and star enhancements arrive with seasonal tides; once you summon a seasonal tower, it's yours for good.
Playing with others
- Live co-op: share a co-op code with a partner and defend the same run.
- Relay runs: play in shifts. When you hand over, the next commander inherits everything.
- Rescues: fallen runs are posted for rescue. Beat the wave someone fell on and you both earn gems.
- Duels: challenge a rival, or accept an open challenge, with rated duels each season.
- Seeded races: share a seed code and race a friend on exactly the same run.
Guilds
Every run's waves feed a weekly guild goal, and every contributed wave is guild XP. A co-op or relay run with a guildmate counts as an expedition and counts double. Guilds also fight guild wars on a shared seed, where summed best waves decide the winner, and a weekly raid boss, where your kills count double when your run leans into its weakness.
Between runs
- Permanent upgrades bought with gems deepen your branches for lasting power.
- Curses and contracts: stack curses for bonus gems, or sign contracts for objectives on your next run.
- Milestone chests reward your deepest lifetime push.
- Achievements unlock titles.
