Don’t blame me for the capital letters, blame the developers. You might wonder why I bothered downloading another tower defense game. Don’t I have enough of them already? Well, yes, the App Store’s full of them, but not many of them have such a charming description.

This game is only one of TOWER DEFENSE’S games, but characters are more cute than others games.

Only the hardest heart could read that and not immediately press the download button. Or, in my case, read that, search for the free demo version, then press the download version. It may be charming, but I’m not stupid.

Anyway, it successfully are my entire lunch hour, which was meant to be filled with Hook Champ, Slay, etc.


It’s just another fixed-path tower defense game but, yes, the characters are definitely more cute than others games. Well, all apart from Crystal Defenders, which this game resembles on a very superficial level. There’s a good selection of units, each described in perfectly readable Engrish, a decent control system and by killing units you can fill a power bar, enabling you to unleash a very handy fire storm.

It seemed like very good stuff, especially as I was having a lot of trouble working out a good combination of units to finish off the fifty waves of enemies the game was throwing at me. All the units seemed to be useful, apart from the cheap archery units who seemed completely useless – so useless that I couldn’t quite believe they were as bad as I thought they were. I therefore decided to try the level only using those units and my special power to see how quickly I’d die… and I promptly beat all fifty waves with the loss of just two lives.

Hmm. That’s put me off a bit. In this type of game, only using one type of unit shouldn’t work. Still, the congratulatory message at the end of the level did promise me that levels in the full version of the game are much more interesting.

So, in conclusion, it’s definitely cute and easy to play, but the balance might not be quite there. I’m still going to put the full version on my watch list, though.
