All Star Tower Defense is a tower defense game developed by Top Down Games, a group situated on the gaming and game development platform Roblox. The official game place was created on June 13, 2020, with the official game release being on October 23, 2020.

Gameplay
All Star Tower Defense is much like a traditional tower defense game, with the goal being to defend a base (territory) from enemy mobs by using units (a form of defense) that are inspired by characters from certain anime series. These units can be upgraded with cash that is received throughout the game, enhancing the performance of the unit(s) in question. Each unit has an assigned rarity based on stars (one being the lowest, and six being the highest). One-star and two-star units are obtainable from certain game modes and the in-game Gold Summon, while three-star to five-star units are obtainable from the in-game Hero Summon. These summons rotate their banners on an hourly basis. The six-star rarity is only accessible by certain five-star units, who gain the extra star by evolving.

There are two different currencies in-game: Gems and Gold. Gems are used to summon units that are in the Hero Summon banner, as opposed to Gold, which is used to summon units that are in the Gold banner. There are a variety of ways to obtain both currencies. Gems can be obtained by completing Tasks (in-game objectives) and by completing Mission stages in the Story Mode. Certain amounts of Gems are given daily upon logging into the game. Gold is obtained by completing Mission stages in the Story Mode. Additionally, both currencies can simultaneously be obtained at a rate of 500 seconds per payout by using the Time Chamber feature. Codes are certain key words that give the player certain rewards such as Gems, EXP units, and unit skins. Codes can be redeemed by selecting the Settings (cog) icon, clicking the "Enter Code" box, then typing the desired codes in individually.

Every unit is unique, meaning that no two units are the same in terms of mechanics and stats. However, units all fall under two different categories: Ground units and Hill units. Ground units tend to possess greater offensive potential than Hill units, but only Hill units are capable of hitting Air-type mobs in-game (with few exceptions). A player's desired units can be placed within a total of six slots. Upon initially starting the game, the player is only given three slots in which to place their units (inspired by certain anime series). The other three slots are unlocked at levels 15, 30, and 50 respectively. Levels are obtained by playing games; you gain XP regardless of the game mode, although certain modes give more XP than others.

There are five different game modes in-game: Story Mode, Infinite Mode, Trial Mode, Raids, and Challenges. In Story Mode (the main game mode), the player progresses through a series of Missions (maps). Each Mission has a total of six stages. Infinite Mode consists of an infinite series of waves, also allowing the player to obtain EXP units. These are units which provide a significant amount of unit EXP when fed to other units. Trial Mode and Raids give certain five-star units upon completion. Challenges are stages with certain restrictions that gift you Orbs upon completion, items that enhance any one unit with a certain buff effect. All modes possess the option to switch between Normal mode and Extreme mode. Extreme mode offers increased rewards (some stages offer Orbs as one of these rewards) at the cost of a huge difficulty increase.
