According to Associate Game Director Adam Kugler, WoW Arclight Rumble was inspired by tower defense games, but it will be what he called a “tower offense” game in the reveal stream.

Players will collect heroes (or villains) and send them in waves against opponents in PvE, PvP, raids, and a bunch of other modes as well.

You can play as one of five different factions: the Alliance, Horde, Blackrock Legions, the Undead, and beasts (made up of Murlocs, Gnolls, and other mobs from WoW).
