Dangerous Roads is a fantasy tower defense game where players control a party of three heroes to defend trade routes from waves of enemies. Players choose between a knight, wizard, and druid, each with distinct roles and abilities.

The game features 9 levels set across different environments, with multiple waves of enemies per level and increasing difficulty. Enemies attack from multiple paths, requiring strategic positioning and decision-making.

Players earn and manage gold between waves, with unspent resources carrying over between levels. Characters can be upgraded and enhanced with perks to improve performance and adapt to later challenges.

The game focuses on resource management, party composition, and strategic planning as players progress through increasingly difficult encounters.
