About:
Things were going well for Azra, the sheltered Royal Librarian. There were books to sort, dust, and put away, important royal documents to transcribe. All this was swept away by the deadly plague that devastated the Kingdom of Ash. The plague killed quickly, so quickly that no one has the time to bury the dead, instead they are thrown, without ceremony, into the Pit. Azra, infected with the plague, is cast into the Pit. Soon, she finds herself in the Half-Way World, the place between life and death and learns of her true power--that of being able to bring anyone into the Half-Way World with her. Now, she must traverse the Pit in the hopes of finding the cause of the plague and must fight to not only save herself but the Kingdom as well.
Defender’s Quest is a tower defense and RPG hybrid that features classic tower defense gameplay intermingled with RPG mechanics. Recruit your troops and pick the ones that best fit your needs as you’ll have a wide variety to choose from: berserkers, archers, healers, mages, and many more. Upgrade their skills, items, and abilities and watch your party grow in power.

---------------------------------------

Patch 2.2.0 (05 January 2018)
Lots of battle optimizations:
don't call unnecessary updates on enemies
don't call unnecessary updates on effects
cache results of effect palette swaps rather than doing it EVERY SINGLE TIME
Fix occassional NaN values for a projectile's angle, which would trigger a while loop of SIX MILLION ITERATIONS (every update!!!!)
Throttle how many times an enemy's HP bar can be redrawn per unit of time (so it's not wastefully spammed when playing at e.g. x16 speed)
Cache results of scaled tiled bitmaps to reduce drawing time
Increase capacity of QuadTree nodes
Added surgical speed throttling -- if there's too many enemies on screen, x16 and x8 speed modes are disabled until you kill enough off. You'll only ever really encounter this limit on the endless bonus battles, and it should effectively increases framerate by not overtaxing the game.
Replaced "hot" text fields in battle with bitmap text fields, which update faster and cause less lag
Avoid playing multiple identical sound effects in rapid succession
Preload enemies to avoid stutter on the first spawn of each wave
Other stuff:
Fix controls menu bug where you can create invalid control configs in gamepad mode
Fix black screen on exiting menu in battle if sprite mode has ever changed
Fix auto-closing gamepad controls change popup
Fix on-screen button prompts not updating on controls change in save slot screen
Remove various problematic window resolutions from the video options
Fix controls menu gamepad navigation
Fix steam achievements not always reflecting what you have on Steam vs. what you have in game
Make journal text default to latin font if it tries to do Korean/Japanese but finds an untranslated string
Fix this crash - start a game in hero mode, try to recruit a character, and cancel out of the warning popup
Add various crash guards
Fix cursor crash in movies menu
Add antialiasing to projectiles
Lots of locale tweaks to fix bugs
Show the text "loading" between screen transitions so it's not just black
Fix German/Spanish text overruns in cutcenes
Add back/forth cutscene actions for gamepad
Fix cursor navigation of enemy tooltips on battle preview
Switch journal to bitmap text so it loads faster
Fix soft lock in party skill screen
Fixed full-screen flash effects persisting after a screen transition
Fix missing skill lock text in party menu
Fix missing tutorial texts when navigating with the gamepad
Fix broken symbols text in cutscenes
Fix crash in party skills menu
Fix cycle defenders & spell selection bugs
Fix accessibility menu glitch (save slot specific options accessible outside of a loaded save)
Enemies now selectable in gamepad mode
Battle preview now shows a line crossing out already earned rewards
Fix crash in controls menu
Fix bug that shows incorrect character portrait when selecting an "ally" (computer-controlled guest character)
Fix item sorting in party screen
Make both flashing and screenshake in cutscenes respect the accesibility settings
Fix wave block tooltip on wave block destruction
Fix tooltip lingering when enemy is killed
Fix boost disabled button placement in mcguffin menu in final battle
Fix buggy gamepad menu interactions with spell menu
If a name is entered in japanese/korean and the language is later switched to English or another locale, so that a text field with non-asian characters ever attempts to display asian text, display the asian text using romanization (Hepburn or RROK) rather than display nothing at all (this does not change the underlying data).
Optimize party screen so it's faster to navigate with the gamepad
Fix some issues with gamepad navigation on the battle screen
Switched to bitmap fonts for many screens - should be more responsive, particularly when using gamepad navigation
Fix artifacts in berserker animation
Fix enemy death animations
Make color selections for healer, knight, mage, slightly less terrible
Add dragon roar sound effect
Add sound effect to indicate first and last enemy wave
German, French, and Spanish translations now officialy out of beta, should be 100% complete.
Fixes to the journal -- shouldn't have ugly overlaps and layout problems in any of the locales now.
New sound effects
Fixed a few weapon icons that had some bleed-over
Simplified Spell "Need PSI" and "Wait" overlays to be less buggy in other locales
Fix monastery tutorial (keyboard vs. gamepad mode)
Fix some of Ketta's battle portraits
Fix battle dialog window position in some cases
Remove OUYA/Logitech button icons so I have less things to maintain
Fix knight's generic HD sprite icon
Combined splash screen with loading screen
Add James Gray, Lucas Pope, Syrenne McNulty, and Nilsen Filc to credits
Remove old website links from credits
Made gamepad button prompts have a subtle animated effect (for non-steam-controller mode)
The new little twinkly star on the title screen is not a special secret, it's to fulfill a boring requirement on consoles that no screen is ever entirely static
