View original size

Waves of mobs are spawning and they want to destroy your castle base! Work with your team and kill them before they reach your base. Remember, to be successful you'll need to be familiar with your surroundings and the upgrades available.

Features:

AI mobs spawn in waves and walk towards your base slowly.
If a mob gets into your base, your base health goes down. If your base reaches 0, your team faces a heavy penalty.
Upgrade your character's damage, health, and other stats.
As you progress through mob waves, unlock more upgrades for your hero.
Get loot, dig for treasure, open treasure boxes, or kill your entire team when opening a cursed treasure box.

Credits:

This mode sizably modifies KurenoDesu's Eichenwalde Just Tower Defense mode. KurenoDesu is the original creator of this awesome mode.

Changes from KurenoDesu's Just Tower Defense mode:

Damage & Health upgrades have been rebalanced.
Some heroes have been slightly nerfed, notably torbjorn and bastion's ammo.
There are some new upgrades available.
There is no healing received upgrade - that's at 100% for everyone. Playing healer is viable now.
Some upgrades must be unlocked before accessing.
Mob stats have been rebalanced. Noteably, mobs will generally not go super fast in the later waves. Some mobs will be a bit less annoying.
If your base health hits 0, you get hit with a penalty rather than a game over. Play as long as you want!
Treasure box and other loot has been reworked. Cursed treasure box has more variety and is, on average, less negative.
A lot of texts have been cleaned up.
There are no more "boss" mobs. They have been reworked into normal mobs.
There may be more changes I'm forgetting.

Hey TB!

This is my all-time favourite and most played custom game preset. Unfortunately I just booted it up and it looks like some of the UI elements on the screen have become a bit wonky, but the worst part is that the things you have to hold reload on have stopped working.

Is there any chance these will be fixed in the future? Obviously when the workshop is actually active in OW2.

I'm liking this version, especially how more features unlock the longer the game lasts. That's also the issue though, with 2+ players the server seems to crash past round 6 or so (something something "excessive workload").

I played a different (super unbalanced) version before that could make it to round 50 with 6 players and not crash. It's also weird that the original version of this mode is nowhere to be found on the internet.

EDIT: even alone it doesn't get past round 15

Argh that's odd - I haven't tested this version recently, but did play on it maybe a month ago, and saw it getting to round 50+ without issue. In the past I've seen it get round 100+ too. Maybe something changed with Workshop?

I'm not actively maintaining this code anymore unfortunately.

The original had less features and was the most unbalanced version of the game. The couple versions based off it that aren't this one tend not to rebalance some of the mob stats too much, which can make high rounds a lot crazier (mob speed especially) than this one.
