Crazy Defense Heroes: How to play and earn

Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) is a traditional free-to-play mobile game that's part of the "Tower Experiment" initiative, which will soon release a play-to-earn version powered by blockchain technology.

Discover how you can start earning TOWER tokens as you battle formidable foes in CDH.

What is Crazy Defense Heroes?

Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) is a hugely successful strategy tower defense mobile game that's amassed over 2 million downloads. The title is a sequel and part of the Crazy Kings (CK) game franchise.

Crazy Defense Heroes serves as the basis for an upcoming tower defense blockchain game that's built on the Polygon network, which will utilize NFTs and TOWER — an ERC-20 token — in a play-to-earn gaming ecosystem.

Playing Crazy Defense Heroes

To start playing, assemble a battle deck from over 400 cards — which are not NFTs in the current mobile version — and battle fearsome hordes of fantasy creatures across 1,000 fun-filled levels in the realm of Evils.

Each level is typically cleared in a few minutes, but it'll get progressively harder. So make sure to select the right cards and adjust your strategy to increase your chances of winning.

Conquering higher stages mean attaining better loot and unlocking rarer cards with different utilities. These cards are classified into various types, such as battle tower, instant weapons, support heroes and your main avatar.

Players use TOWER in three ways:

• Purchase NFTs. TOWER can be used to purchase NFT assets within the Crazy Kings franchise.

How does play-to-earn work with Crazy Defense Heroes?

As Crazy Defense Heroes has yet to be a full-fledge blockchain game, the P2E features are somewhat limited at the time of writing. However, there are exclusive monthly events allowing players to earn TOWER tokens for their gaming efforts, such as the "Daily Star Chest" event.

How many TOWER Tokens can I earn?

The rewards for each qualifying player are a shared amount of TOWER Tokens from a total reward pool, which may vary from month to month. For example, 1.8 million TOWER tokens were allocated in May 2022.

The exact amount of TOWER you earn depends on the number of players who meet the required monthly XP criteria. This reward is airdropped to your MetaMask wallet within two weeks after the month's end.

What are Crazy Defense Heroes NFTs?

Cards are the key gameplay components in the Crazy Kings franchise, each representing defensive structures, heroes, unique spells and equipment that are strategically used to prevent hordes of enemies from reaching your base.

Each Game Card is a non-fungible, ERC-20 token that comes in various levels of power and rarity and is upgradable to ensure long-term progression. There are currently four rarity tiers:

• Common
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary

How to buy Crazy Defense Heroes NFTs?

For now, you can only buy and sell Crazy Defense Heroes NFTs on OpenSea.io, a secondary marketplace for trading NFTs. The current floor price for a Crazy Defense Heroes Card is 0.49 ETH.

In May 2021, Animoca Brands held two official TOWER Chest Sales, limited to 650 chests per round, in three tiers — Bronze, Silver and Gold — each containing three random TOWER Game Card NFTs.

The TOWER project also launched a series of NFT sales on Binance NFT on November 5, 2021, which includes TOWER Tickets and TOWER Mystery Boxes.

While these NFTs are not yet utilized in the Crazy Defense Heroes game, they have paved the way for the upcoming blockchain game.

Once the blockchain version of the game is launched, additional Crazy Kings franchise cards will be minted as NFTs and available for purchase with TOWER. In addition to being in-game assets and collectibles, all these NFTs are stakable to passively generate TOWER.

What to watch out for with Crazy Defense Heroes

As of June 8, 2022, the blockchain version of the TOWER project — which is based on the Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) mobile game — has yet to be released and final gameplay details haven't been announced. However, players can expect its core gameplay to be similar to Crazy Defense Heroes, which is a relatively straightforward strategy game.

But before getting started with Crazy Defense Heroes, keep in mind that the floor prices for its NFTs are rather steep on the secondary market. Also, the game card NFTs can only be used in the upcoming blockchain version.

Bottom line

At the time of writing, the actual blockchain version of the TOWER project — which will be on PC — is still in the works. So players can only earn TOWER tokens from monthly cumulative events by playing the current version of Crazy Defense Heroes available on both the App Store and Google Play.

If you already own Crazy Defense Heroes NFTs or are looking to buy from the secondary market, they'll only be useable in the upcoming blockchain version of the game.

On the bright side, getting your feet wet in the current version of Crazy Defense Heroes allows you to gain invaluable insight into the game's mechanics, familiarize yourself with the battle card system and polish up your defense strategies. So you'll have less figuring out to do when the blockchain version goes live — while filling up your bags with TOWER tokens.
