First there was Tower Defense. Then there was Reverse Tower Defense. Now the towers move, and one of them shoots lightning out of a guitar. Oh yeah, and did we mention this one's completely free?
What would happen if you took "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," replaced the Connecticut Yankee with a neon-haired punk rocker, stirred in the undead, and made a Real Time Strategy game out of the whole thing?
We'd rather play this game than eat Jell-O -- and that's not a statement we make lightly! If you're a fan of Tower Defense, Castle Defense, or Real-Time Strategy games in general, Jelly Defense is a clear must-have. Even if you don't consider yourself a genre fan but have a strong appreciation for challenges of logic, this is one worth taking a chance on if you've got the bucks and the time to invest in it.
We'll say it again: we prefer not to make predictions at the preview stage. But doggone it if some developers don't make it so easy! Fans of Castle Defense and Real-Time Strategy games will be marching to the beat of Image & Form's "Anthill" when it releases in early October, because this ain't your average genre offering!
Move over robot unicorns, there's another endless genre in town! Clueless Ideas is hoping "Magic Defenders" will reel in Castle Defense fans for some infinite high score competition, and it's very well designed for the job. But how long can something really last when it's billed as being "endless?"
If you're a seasoned Castle Defense fan and aren't too picky about the textual quality or depth of help menus and live tutorials, you might find "Empire War" surprisingly engaging. Challenge seekers, get ready to fight for...well, actually, we have no clue what you're fighting for here, but since when has that ever stopped anyone from picking up a sword?
Once played only in web browsers, the Cave of Wonders-developed Civilizations Wars has been ported to the iOS courtesy of Alcomi and Chillingo -- and boy, does it prove how perfect a marriage of the Real-Time Strategy genre and the iOS can be! A few crazy quirks keep it from being a perfect experience, but it packs so much high quality gameplay into such a low price that one can hardly complain.
