The music is your weapon. An equalizer ring around your core pulses with the song that is playing, and its bars grind down the shapes closing in from every side. TAECHORA Pulse Defense is a portrait defense game where you build a beat-driven arsenal to protect your core.
Fight to the beat
Your core stays in the center. Attacks and enemy waves land on the beat, the off-beat and the bar. Bass makes the bars reach farther, and loud bars block incoming shots. Destroy shapes to charge Overdrive, then unleash 16 beats of extra power.
Fourteen weapons, fourteen evolutions
Fourteen weapons including equalizer ring, beat pulse, orbiting triangles, square cannon, prism laser, hex field, chain spark and star mines: carry up to five at once. Level up to pick one of three cards. Max out a weapon and hold its paired upgrade to evolve it. Reroll and banish cards to chase the build you want.
Five BEAT albums, five bosses
Each stage plays songs from one TAECHORA BEAT album. Survive 20 waves to face the final boss: OCTA that latches onto your core, HEXA WALL guarded by nodes, the TWIN PRISM pair, SPIRAL STAR and its spiral shots, and the three-phase OMNI. Ten kinds of shapes appear along the way, including shielded, healing and teleporting ones. Clear Stage 1 to unlock Endless mode with every song.
Upgrades and collection
Earn coins and XP after every run. Spend coins on permanent core boosts in Upgrades. XP raises your core level, increasing damage and HP and unlocking new weapons at levels 2–9. The weapons you use gain mastery up to level 10, improving their damage and perks. Clearing a stage opens its next tier, with stronger enemies and more coins and XP. Complete 28 achievements to earn coins and core skins, collect all ten skins, and look up the shapes you have met and the songs you have heard in the Codex.
34 songs, offline
The game and 34 songs from BEAT Seasons I–V are bundled in the app, so you can play without an internet connection. Pause or leave the app to save your current run, then use Continue run on the title screen. Adjust vibration, volume, screen shake and quality in Settings.
Supports Korean, English, Japanese and Spanish.
Core and EQ themes
Ten achievement skins and four Supporter/Skin Pack skins have distinct colors, patterns and waves. Preview locked looks without unlocking them; equip skins you own. Damage and hitboxes stay the same.
Play locally without registration. After a 14-or-older check, optional Play Games attempts connection for 28 achievements, two leaderboards (best Endless wave and total kills) and a complete progress save including coins and permanent upgrades. Current runs and device settings stay on their device. If saves conflict, review and choose one copy; coin balances are not added together. Paid rights are checked again with Google Play. You can play without connecting. Without a yes answer, Play Games and actual ad requests stay off.
Optional ads offer one revive per run at 50% HP with 3 seconds of protection, or 200 coins up to three times per UTC day, 60 seconds apart. Supporter and ad removal owners get the same 200 coins and limits without ads. Spaced interstitials appear after final runs with no daily or session total cap. Supporter includes double run coins, HALO and no ads; separate ad removal excludes double coins and skins. Skin and coin packs remain available. Ads, daily checks and online features need internet; you can play without ads or purchases.
Enable optional daily reminders on this device or turn them off in settings; denied permission is not automatically requested again. Play update notices appear outside combat and can be postponed. Clearing data or uninstalling may erase unsynced progress. Restore non-consumables with the same Google Play account.
