A defence game with the building removed. There are no towers to place and no resources to bank; there are two heroes under your direct control, and the enemies arrive at a pace that makes the position of both of them a constant problem. Whichever one you are not moving is the one in the wrong place. That single change makes it an action game rather than a planning one, and the skill it tests is attention splitting rather than layout. The two heroes have different capabilities, so the correct arrangement depends on what is coming — one holds a chokepoint while the other intercepts, and swapping which does which mid-wave is usually what saves a level. Waves escalate by arriving from more directions rather than in greater numbers, which keeps the pressure on the thing the game is actually about.

How to play Duo Defense
- Assign roles before the wave: one holds, one intercepts.
- Move the hero you are not watching first; the one on screen can wait a second.
- Use abilities to buy time for a reposition rather than for damage.
- Cover the direction the wave is arriving from, not the one it arrived from last time.
- Retry with a different role assignment rather than the same one played faster.
Tips
- Chokepoints do the work that towers would in a conventional defence game, so learn where they are.
- A hero left alone for too long is the cause of nearly every breach.
- Abilities on cooldown are abilities you spent too early; hold them for the reposition.
