Lock's Quest is a 2D action RPG and tower defense hybrid developed by HandyGames, released in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. The game centers on constructing defensive structures and engaging in direct combat against an invading force known as the Clockwork horde. Players alternate between a building phase, in which they place and reinforce fortifications, and an action phase, in which they fight alongside their defenses to repel enemy waves. This combination of strategic planning and real-time combat distinguishes it from straightforward tower defense titles, requiring attention to both base layout and moment-to-moment battlefield engagement. The remastered version updates the original experience for modern platforms while preserving the core loop of preparation and defense. The blend of RPG progression with strategic construction gives the game a layered structure suited to players who enjoy both genres.
