Shield-Bearer Ben

About This Game

Play as Ben, the tank, on the last night before a patch deletes the Demon Lord's dungeon forever. Somewhere at the bottom waits his legendary headpiece, and nobody has ever looted it. Your job is to keep your party alive: block what flies at them, pull enemies off them, and tell them when to get out of the fire. Joining you, courtesy of the dungeon matchmaker: an archer who catches arrows with his face, a wizard who stands in every circle, and a healer who hasn't played in ages.

Full disclosure: we played a lot of Healer Kale, and this game exists because of it. Ben is our take on that idea, built around the tank instead of the healer.

=== Hold the line ===

Raise your Big Shield and catch every arrow, rock and fireball flying past you at your friends.

[=== Babysit your party ===

Red circle on the ground? Your party will walk straight into it. Whistle to get signal them out, taunt the monsters off them, and shout for Mira to heal everyone.

=== Upgrade everything ===

Spend gold and skill points in a huge constellation of a skill tree: thicker shields, sharper arrows, meteors, arrow rain, and combos where your whole party works together.

=== Bring down the bosses ===

A Goblin Chief, a Magma Golem, a Brood Mother, a Sea Witch, a Lich, your own shadow, a Frost Wyrm, a giant wolf... and the Demon Lord himself. Every boss a new challenge.
