''Dungeon Defenders'' is a video game developed by Trendy Entertainment that combines the tactics and long-term gameplay of [[Tower Defence]] with the chaos of an [[Action RPG]]. You are one of four great heroes, who long ago [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|sealed away a great evil in magic gemstones]], and must now- wait, sorry. No, they're gone off to do something else. You're one of their pint-sized apprentices. Now the remnants of the evil army are marching on your fortress, and you must prevent them from releasing that great evil. How? Well, there's a few ways...
 
* The Apprentice - Tower-based DPS. The Apprentice's defences focus on killing opponents with magical or elemental damage, sacrificing most of his crowd control to do so. The Apprentice himself uses staves to shoot enemies, or knock them away with a potent energy wave attack.
Line 38:
** [[Fragile Speedster]]: Huntress, Monk if no/few stats in hero talents.
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: Series EV, who has a very wide range of abilities and a few buffs and powers unique to her.
* [[Crossover]]: [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|The Heavy, The Medic, The Pyro, and The Engineer]] are all available as pets when the game is bought off [[Steam]], and the ''[[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Portal]]'' Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is a level 30 Huntress weapon. The trailer shows the characters from ''Dungeon Defenders'' using the portal gun to make a portal into a TF2 game and pulling characters through it.
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Used to be Dark Elf Warriors, but now clearly replaced by actual spiders, which will web-stun you, then bite you to death. (or web-stun your towers, then bite them to death)
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: While it's not a cheat per se, if you have a high level squire/apprentice, you can go to a higher level/difficulty dungeon, have them set up defense towers, then switch to a lower level character and use the towers to kill the otherwise lethal monsters. While most of the items will have level requirements to use, one could easily power level a low character and help them get better gear faster than if they tried to level through appropriate maps/difficulties.
Line 46:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: One of the challenges has the crystal replaced with a friendly ogre. Sounds good right? Except the ogre wanders around, so building static defenses is less effective.
* [[Expressive Mask]]: The Squire's full-helm... has a mouth. And eyebrows.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: The Slice n Dice traps. So much. Also the Squire's spin attack.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: The Legendary Heroes had... something else to do, so they left their younger kin in charge of the castle.
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: The Squire doesn't wear any pants, for some reason. This may be a reference to [[Ghosts N'n Goblins (Video Gameseries)|Ghosts N Goblins]].
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Although the tutorial gives good starter tips, a lot of other things are left up to players to find on their own, unless you use a guide/faq. Such as being able to swap out different characters during the build phase, or that holding down the shift key during the build phase allows you to see on the map if an item upgrade was dropped by a mob (you'll see a green dot if an item is an upgrade to your current stuff, black if it's not). Many new players are also unaware that loot left on the ground when a new combat phase starts auto-sells and splits the mana between all the characters. See the [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]] and [[Disc One Nuke]] examples for additional examples.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: The Monk has taken a vow of silence.
Line 67:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: The Huntress comes complete with a [[Bare Your Midriff|bared midriff]], a rump-shaking dance, a hint of [[Jiggle Physics]], and a dangerously low miniskirt.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: The Monk and Squire caused this during the intro while sparring, [[What the Hell, Hero?|much to the apprentice's dismay]].
* [[No Campaign for Thethe Wicked]]: Played with in one of the challenges. It involves the players assaulting the crystals, with towers and [[Mooks]] guarding them. Ever wanted to see what the mobs have to go through when you're defending the crystals?
* [[No-Gear Level]]:
** One challenge set requires you to complete a level without a single tower.
Line 76:
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Said word for word by the tavernkeep, but not present in the game itself.
* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: The Apprentice's outfit. [[Invoked Trope|Invoked by the narrator.]]
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: In the same tavern you could have a Wizard's Apprentice that shoots bolts of magical death from a [[Simple Staff]], A Squire that beats things to death with a good ol' fashioned [[BFS]], a monk that shoots energy blasts from his palms while stabbing things with a [[Blade Onon a Stick]]...and then a huntress that carries proximity detonated satchel bombs and packs a [[Gatling Good|hot pink Gatling Gun]] or a gun that [[Flat What|shoots spinning sawblades in a V-shape pattern]]. Not to mention the modern day security camera and {{spoiler|high definition TV.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: A plenty.
** Everything from ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' to ''[[Tales of Monkey Island (Video Game)|Tales of Monkey Island]]''.
** Many of the weapons are also such; you will find everything from a [[StarA WarsNew (Film)Hope|Wookie bowcaster]] to the [[The Legend of Zelda (Videovideo Gamegame)|Master Sword]] to [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Cloud's sword]].
** The squire wears no pants only a pair of boxers with hearts on them as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Video Game/Ghouls N Goblins|Super Ghouls n' Goblins]]''.
** The Series EV's latest costume is the [[Metroid (Video Game)|Bounty Hunter]] outfit.
* [[Tower Defense]]: Main part of the gameplay. Slight variance from other ones in that you also get to control a character who can move independently and attack monsters on your own, as well as repair/upgrade your towers during gameplay. Pure Strategy mode is entirely focused on classic TD gameplay, limiting heroes to upgrading towers during waves.
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Your goal in the game is to prevent hordes of mobs from taking out your crystals.
