Villainous is a reverse Tower Defense game. Instead of building towers to defend, you are evil Overlord sending out the creeps to infiltrate your enemy's defenses. Your units, like towers in tower defense games, have strengths and weaknesses. You must use strategy to get past the enemy defenses.

- Use mouse to navigate game. - Hotkeys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are used to summon units and cast spells. - Space bar (or numpad 0) summons your unit queue and slows/fast forwards time when you are sieging.
