Ghost Dorm, Defend the Sunflower, Hero Kill: Tower Defense and Card Battles in WeChat Mini Games

Many people still think WeChat mini games are only match-3 and mahjong. The catalog has grown far past that: tower defense, card battlers and full xianxia RPGs all run inside WeChat now, with no download and no update waits. Three representatives worth your time:

Ghost Dorm: tower defense at sprint pace

The loop in one line: hide in your dorm bed, earn money lying down, upgrade your door and turrets, and survive waves of ghosts knocking. Its smart trick is making the economy visible — your bed IS your income — so "grow first, fight second" clicks instantly. A run takes only a few minutes. (Play now | Details and tips)

Hero Kill: the veteran card battler returns

Hero Kill has been around for years: pick a hero from Chinese history, and outplay opponents with your hand and skills, guessing allies and enemies in identity mode. It now lives in WeChat mini games — no download, returning players can jump straight back in, and new players get beginner tables. (Play now | Details and tips)
