WoW TD 2 takes the classic tower defense formula, injects the art and lore of World of WarCraft, and then mixes in the pacing of fun and fast mini-games. One to eight players can take on waves of monsters -- including ogres, dragons, and Deathwing himself -- by strategically placing towers that damage, slow, and stun their quarry.

Though some are mechanical towers, many of these playable 'structures' are characters from World of Warcraft, such as Orc warriors, Goblin rogues, and Draenei mages. Your heroes can wear items that are dropped from slain enemies, increasing their attributes. An interesting feature in WoW TD 2 is if given the right combination of items, your characters can be transformed and gain all new attributes. For instance, equipping the Night Elf with Angelic Halo and Angelic Wings will transform her into an Angel with glowing armor.

Mini-games offer players a chance to earn bonus materials and break up the typical tower defense game-flow. There are also times where natural disasters strike and the map is suddenly flooded, preventing players from planting new towers. Combined with a wave of flying enemies, this can spell doom for players who wait too long to construct their defenses.
