I’m a big fan of tower defense games. I’m not particularly gifted on this chapter but I really enjoy trying different tower placement strategies and such. Anyway there’s two tower defense games that I like way more than any other.
Starcraft 2 Tower Defense is much like the real Starcraft, but without all the hassle of gathering resources. It offers lots of carnage, and is also graphically very advanced. For instance, the terrans burst into an explosion of blood just like they do in the real games. Watching an almost endless row of terrans blowing up as soon as they reach your laser turrets is a real delight.
There is no story to Starcraft 2 Tower Defense, no different maps, just endless waves of enemies.
I reached level 38.
Kingdom Rush is placed in fantasy environment with monsters and dark knights and many other such creatures that want to sneak past your defense towers. What makes this game interesting is the tower that slows down enemies. It is actually a garrison that spawns soldiers that block the way and fight the incoming monsters. More than this, every ten seconds you get a reinforcement consisting of two peasants that you can place anywhere on the map. Money are gathered rather slow in Kingdom Rush, and therefore there’s not so many upgrades to be done. What keeps the player busy is spawning those two peasants every ten seconds. It may not sound like much but it really gives a whole different pace to the game.
