About Toy Shire
Toy Shire drops you into a toy‑themed tower‑defense adventure where brand‑new green soldier toys must protect your base from waves of forgotten playthings. You build and upgrade towers, deploy troops, and use unique abilities to keep the old toys from overrunning your defenses.
The game offers multiple rooms as distinct levels, three difficulty settings, and a creative mode with over 100 objects for custom level design. Single‑player play is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with optional mouse‑only and partial controller inputs.
01 / THE GUIDE
Narrative and Setting
The story frames your new green soldier toys defending against old, forgotten toys that have turned hostile. Battles begin in your bedroom and expand to other rooms, each with its own battlefield design.
Enemy types vary by location, reflecting the vintage toys that once filled those spaces, such as dinosaur sets, robots, and building blocks.
- Observe which enemy types appear in each room to anticipate their traits.
- Use the narrative cues to plan tower placement before the first wave arrives.
02 / THE GUIDE
Tower and Troop Building
You construct and improve towers to support your army of green soldiers. Towers alone cannot stop attackers; you must also deploy troops in positions that match enemy traits.
Upgrading troops and unlocking new ones lets you handle stronger waves, while unique abilities can bolster both towers and units.
- Balance tower upgrades with troop upgrades for sustained defense.
- Match troop abilities to the specific enemy traits you encounter.

Difficulty and Game Modes
Toy Shire provides three adjustable difficulty settings, allowing players of varying skill levels to enjoy the experience. The three settings are designed to cater to players of different skill levels.
All modes are single‑player and can be played without timed input, giving you freedom to plan each move.
- Start on an easier difficulty to learn enemy patterns before increasing the challenge.
- Experiment with different difficulties to see how enemy wave composition changes.

Creative Level Editor
A built‑in creative mode lets you design custom levels using more than 100 objects. This mode is integrated with Steam Workshop for sharing.
Designing your own maps can help you understand the balance between tower placement and troop paths.
- Test your custom level repeatedly to ensure enemy paths are clear.
- Use a variety of objects to create interesting strategic challenges.
