How to play Minecraft Tower Defence 2
Game Modes
Upon launching the game, you’re presented with three main modes:
- Adventure Mode: A mission-based campaign following Steve as he battles waves of mobs across Minecraftia, unlocking new items and progressing through a storyline.
- Survival Mode: Test your mettle against endless waves of enemies on previously unlocked maps. Ideal for leaderboard hunters.
- Challenges: Complete unique objectives tied to items and levels to unlock extra gear or discounts in-game.
Adventure Mode Overview
You play as Steve, a newcomer to Minecraft who’s forced to survive after his village is destroyed by a mysterious griefer. Each mission introduces new game mechanics, maps, enemies, and unlockable content. Your goal is to clear all missions and build your arsenal of defenses along the way.
Survival Mode Mechanics
After completing Adventure Mode, all 12 maps become available in Survival Mode. Here, your objective is simple: survive as many waves as possible. You’ll earn resources by defeating enemies, which you use to build and upgrade traps and turrets. Each map has a dedicated leaderboard—can you rise to the top?
Building a Path
Just like in the original, you must first dig a custom path from the mob spawn point to your base:
- Click on tiles to dig your path
- Longer, winding paths give you more time and strategic placement for defenses
- Avoid crossing your own path
Turrets & Traps
There are 18 different buildable items split between offensive towers and strategic traps:
- Dispensers: Arrow, Fire, Snowball, Explosive, and more
- Traps: Webs, Cactus, Lava, Water, and electric-based upgrades
All items can be upgraded for better range, speed, or damage. Using items repeatedly also unlocks new variants or passive buffs!
Controls & Interface
- Mouse: Used for all digging, placing, and upgrades
- Speed Up: Increases game speed to fast-forward waves
- Pause: Freeze the action to strategize
