Yes, you read that correct! Vulcan Tower Defense is a play -to- earn game, which means that you get paid for your strategies you make & for the time that you invest in mastering all the levels. Okay, let the journey begin and find out why this game should be on your play list as a gamer.
First things first, what is Vulcan Tower Defense? It is a tower defence game where the player is assigned with the task of defending the kingdom across 4 mysic lands, against hordes of enemies in 16 different levels and one endless level. As you travel through four different worlds, each one will have its own missions and foes. However, you are not the only one in this struggle. You have an array of defences to use and it is your choice in split-seconds as to where you want to set them up to provide the utmost protection and ensure that the towers put up the best defence possible.
At the heart of Vulcan Tower Defense are 14 magnificent and powerful towers, each possessing unique traits and capabilities. There is an Archer Tower which is a basic defence structure that eliminates enemies from a distance. The Cannon Tower is another class of towers that have a very powerful range & area to make an impact & attack. And of course, there is the Tesla Tower where enemies are attacked with fierce lightning. However, what a player needs to know is that each of these towers are not free! You will have to use coins to place them and even more coins to level up and make them stronger. But if you are smart enough, you can find your way through the game to keep winning and gather the requisite resources. It is all about proper management and utilization of every available resource.
As mentioned, all good things come at a price. The commanding towers have a certain cost in coins and this cost does not decrease but increases as you level-up to the next category of towers. For instance, the Archer Tower is placed at 60 coins while the cost of upgrading it to level 5 is 185 coins. The Cannon Tower, will have you spend 90 coins while fully upgrading it will cost you 205 coins. You have to be the one to control your resources and ensure that you are getting the best value from the coins that you are exhausting for every tower. Requires strategic thinking and meticulous planning to win. This is what the gamer in you will love – a challenge, a contest and a calculation that you will have to split-seconds in order to become the ultimate defender.
But wouldn’t it to be too easy if the game only brought out one dimension in it’s gripping gameplay? Towers alone wouldn’t be the only thing that keep the grey cells ticking, isn’t it! In Vulcan Tower Defense, you also have a set of powerful skills and consumables that will help you to win the battle.
Each of the 6 skills have unique effects, making them different from the other. For instance, the “Simmer” skill decreases the time that is required for the special abilities to cool down and hence can be used more often. ”Plutus” skill, however, raises the number of coins that you get for killing each foe – interesting and exciting to use & deploy.
Skills are like your aces, they can make or break the game for you. Feeling the need to call in an army to help you in your battle? Yes, there is a skill for that as well! Feeling like showering your enemies with arrows? There is also a skill for that. And the best part? It is possible to buy these skills with Obsidian, the in-game currency.
But wait, if you thought this was it, the excitement only increases exponentially. For you to become the ultimate defender of the Vulcanverse, you have some great company – The Vulcanites! They are your allies in the fight. These elemental warriors are 30 in number and each of them come with their own set of skills.
The good news is that 8 of them are free to use while 22 of are NFTs that can be bought. These NFT Vulcanites are a lot stronger and can provide you with a marked advantage in combat. It’s a bit like asking your best buddies to make a special appearance in an intense fight, when you need them the most, they will come to assist you with all their might.
And them there are ‘Consumables’ that act like your secret weapon. Consumables can help your Vulcanites in the battle by making them faster, stronger and tougher for a short period of time. Consumables come in 7 types and each of them has its own effect on the game.
For instance, the “Reincarnation” consumable will bring back the defeated Vulcanites and allow them to be alive again. The “Magic Aura” consumable, however, places a damaging aura on your Vulcanites and any enemy that comes into contact with it will be damaged.
While consumables are more like – super powers made available at a single touch. They play a significant in your strategy formation as they make the Vulcanites better fighters in the battlefield, ensuring that they are more powerful, swift and difficult to eliminate. There are seven consumable items, which are divided into categories such as potions -which restore health and scrolls that increase the character’s speed. Similar to skills, you can also buy them by using Obsidian.
But that is not all, there are more gameplay elements. Vulcan Tower Defense also has a special system of chests. While playing, you will get treasure chests that have various items and resources that are useful in the game. The chests are of three types – Wooden, Silver, and Golden. Each of them has a different claim wait time before they can be opened.
The more you wait & keep patience, the greater the returns. It is like surprise present; you never know what you are going to get. This element adds a whole new dimension of intrigue and discovery – the one that you’ll love.
However, still the million dollar question still is - Why should you even bother playing Vulcan Tower Defense? Well the simple answer is that apart from the fact that it is one of the most exciting and competitive games, that is available in marketplaces. It also allows you to make real cash.
Yes, you can trade the in-game currency, XP for LAVA and then exchange LAVA for PYR which is a real cryptocurrency. From there, you can then cash out your PYR for real money. It is as if one gets paid for doing something that he or she enjoys doing most! Trust - there’s nothing better than that.

Can I play Vulcan Tower Defense?” Yes, you can. The game is very simple to play and does not require any prior knowledge of gaming to be able to play it. It has a detailed tutorial that will help you get started and you do not have to create an account to play the game either as there is the “Play as Guest” option.

No matter if you are in search of strategies on how to overcome a certain level or if you just want to discuss the game with other fans, you will find the Vulcan discord community extremely helpful.
First and foremost, never forget to look at your resources. Coins and Obsidian are the main resources in the game and you will have to be very careful with their spending if you want to win.
Second, try out various towers and different combinations with several Vulcanites to see which combination works best. Every level is different and you can’t use the same strategy for one map and expect to use the same on another. It is better to be flexible and not stick to the initial plan and try something new. New Maps, new levels – newer strategies!
Third, do not underestimate yourself, do not forget about your strengths and special talents. Arrow Rain and Soldier Summon can be very effective if used at the right time and in the right situation. Utilize them properly and you will be able to shift the balance in your favour within a battle.
To sum up, it isn’t just a game but an exciting experience. It is a world where tactics are rewarded with earning, where you can win real cash and have fun, both at the same time. There are impecaable towers, Vulcanites, skills, and consumables that can be used in the game and there is always something new to learn. And with the play to earn mechanics and the treasure chest system, you are always in for a reward.
