About Garden Defenders
Prepare your lawn for battle in Garden Defenders, a colorful strategy and tower-defense game where plants are your greatest weapons.
Collect sunlight and use it to build a defensive formation across five garden lanes. Every plant serves a different purpose: Sunflowers produce valuable sunlight, Peashooters attack approaching enemies, Snow Peas slow dangerous invaders, Wall Nuts absorb heavy damage and Cherry Bombs clear groups with powerful explosions.
Survive eight increasingly difficult waves featuring normal enemies, cone-armored attackers, heavily protected bucket enemies and a special final-wave invasion. If attackers break through your defenses, each lane has one emergency lawnmower that can clear the path—but once it is used, that lane becomes vulnerable.
Choose from Easy, Normal or Hard difficulty, manage your resources carefully and position each plant strategically. With animated characters, responsive controls and support for English, Simplified Chinese and Russian, Garden Defenders delivers an accessible yet challenging defense experience for strategy fans.
