Robo Defense v2.0.8



There have been a lot of tower defense games developed for mobile handsets. Many of them have tried to differentiate themselves with some kind of noticeable gimmick, which is why the unassuming Robo Defense might not seem very impressive at first. Where are the zombie hordes, magic spells, or adorable animals? Even without any fluff, this is a tower defense game at its most basic…and satisfying.




Like in any other tower defense game, in Robo Defense, you must build turrets to keep waves of enemies (in this case, robots) from crossing your free-fire zone. The mindless drones will follow whatever path you lay out for them, so the best strategy is to turn an open field into a maze of death as quickly as possible. You can also upgrade your pea shooters to extravagant missile towers, with unique attributes like slowdown, flame, or antiair specialties.

None of this should sound all that different to anyone who has played a tower defense game before, but Robo Defense's unique twist is that the game lets you level up your army of turrets between games. A proper game consists of 100 waves of enemies, and whether you win or lose, the points you earn let you unlock new bonuses, like more starting cash or stronger defenses. This way, you're not only improving your defenses within a game as you proceed, but you can also improve your turrets overall between games.

Robo Defense's mission-select screen, which lets you fine-tune the difficulty and pick from one of six different maps, essentially lets you customize your own experience. Achievements for unusual tactics, like not building rockets or saving up your cash, encourage you to try out new methods as well.


The controls in Robo Defense work well--a basic swipe from a panel in the lower-right corner is all that's required to place a turret. A simple tap will let you upgrade your towers in the midst of battle. It would be nice to be able to zoom the map in or out, but the levels are not so massive that you'll miss a lot of what's going on and the map scrolls smoothly if you drag your finger around the screen (though a greater variety of enemies and a faster fast-forward view would have also been welcome).



Robo Defense may not have a lot of the charm of many other tower defense games, but it's like a well-oiled machine itself; it's precise, well executed, and works very well, indeed.

Leave Devil Alone HD v2.0.7.1


Developer Orz Games is clearly a big fan of PopCap’s work (aren’t we all?). Leave Devil Alone takes PvZ's gameplay and reskins it, swapping a cute take on western horror-folklore with a cute take on eastern horror-folklore.

There’s an attempt at a light-hearted plot, but I really have no idea what’s supposed to be going on thanks to a mixture of bizarre (but charming) cut-scenes and some epically poor translation (more on which later).

Plot doesn’t really matter here, though. It’s all about strategic gameplay, as you drag and drop your defences to halt successive waves of enemies advancing in four rows from the right of the screen.

Using a regenerating monetary system (which you harvest yourself) you must purchase turrets, shields, and traps in the shape of various fantastical beasts. You can purchase additional defensive measures in between levels, which include upgradeable magical attacks.

Confronting its demons

Leave Devil Alone ramps up the challenge surprisingly quickly, so you have to learn to establish a decent early defence lest you find yourself overrun come the manic final wave.

While the tutorial is pretty effective at communicating the basics, it has to be said that the translation is a bit of a problem elsewhere in the game.

The broken English is largely charming and often ignorable, but it tends to drift into the nonsensical, meaning you don’t always get all information you need.

There are other issues that spoil the package somewhat, such as a slightly unwieldy defence menu. It’s fine early on, but it soon gets to the point where you can’t fit all of your defences onto the one screen. The scrolling system isn’t quite good enough, particularly in the heat of battle.

There are also one or two technical issues, such as the screen whiting-out when you quit out and re-enter. I also couldn’t get one of the units (the level-two sand monster) to materialise when selected, which was a considerable blow to my progress.


Leave Devil Alone is a fine way to fill the time waiting for Plants vs Zombies to arrive, and some may even prefer its slick eastern-underworld setting. However, poor translation, technical issues, and one or two gameplay quirks mean that we’ll continue to keep an ear to the ground for PopCap’s polished original.

Fieldrunners HD V 1.03


Armed and animated, a motley crew is bound and determined to infiltrate your base. Control the field in FieldrunnersHD, a tower defense game adapted for your Android device. Blowing up little helmeted soldiers, helicopters, and big, muscle-headed buffoons has never been so visually stunning--because now you can annihilate them in hi-definition graphics. HOO-rah!

Creatively Construct Your Defenses
Choose from seven towers, each with its own special weaponry, and unleash a medley of destruction. You'llstart small, maybe with the Gatling Tower, and work your way up to the Mortar Tower, delivering ultimate destructive powers via the nuke.

With a bird's-eye view of your field, strategically place your towers where you believe they'll be most effective. Drag and drop them from the menu to your field. Replace a tower by tapping it and then selling it for cash.

Earn more points and more cash by preventing enemies from crossing the grassy field and infiltrating your base. Lose a life for each fieldrunner that penetrates your defenses.

Demolish Countless Waves of Combatants
Master a wide array of tactics and strategies to help stand victorious against countless waves of unique land and air combatants. With over 400 levels across four unique battlefields, there's always a Fieldrunner to slay, level to unlock, or achievement to earn.

Three modes of gameplay will satiate your tower defense desires. Start with Classic-- offered in Easy, Medium, or Hard. Two additional modes, Extended and Endless, can only be unlocked by beating Classic.
Hi-Def Graphics Make Destruction More Fun
Stunning graphics, sound effects, and background music enhance the already-addictive gameplay. The enemy maintains an undaunting and tenacious character, grunting and collapsing with each blow. It's just graphic enough to be amusing, but not gruesome enough to feel like you need a therapist.

See if you've got what it takes to defeat the Fieldrunners and rise to the top as the ultimate tower defensechampion.

Guns'n'Glory




Tower defense games are easily one of my favorite subgenres of the strategy genre. And you don’t have to try very hard to find them out there, whether it be on your phone, PC or even consoles. Especially on phones, as it seems every other game released lately that isn’t a match-3 is a tower defense title. So what makes Guns’N’Glory stand out from the pack?


For starters, you’re not saving the planet or participating in World War III or anything like that. You’re actually, believe it or not, playing the bad guys. You control a group of bandits in a Wild West setting. You’re ambushing common, every-day innocent settlers just trying to make their way west to strike it rich, as people tended to do back in the Wild West. The more you kill, the more gold you gather to recruit additional bandits and desperados to your team. As if life on the trail in the wild west, fighting off wild animals and dysentery, wasn’t bad enough, now these settlers have to deal with getting mowed down by a gun, dynamite and flaming arrow wielding army of bad guys.




Another great difference between Guns’N’Glory and your ‘typical’ tower defense title is well, the lack of towers. I’ll let that sink in for a minute… A tower defense game with no towers… I know, wacky huh? But it works! Instead of towers, you have individual people, ranging from a standard revolver wielding bandit to dynamite tossing desperados to flaming arrow shooting Indians. You also get cannons, railcar mounted Gatling guns and a couple other unit types. But they’re all mobile. A big part of the whole strategy is moving your “towers” from one part of the path to another as the settlers move along the canyon. Most of the maps will have multiple entrance points, each of which may or may not be active during each wave, so it’s crucial to pay attention to where people are coming from and where they’re heading and reposition your troops accordingly.


As each map starts, all of the assorted troops are asleep around the map except maybe the one or two you start with. As you ambush kill all the innocent settlers trying to make their way through the canyon, you can spend the money you loot from them to wake up additional troops. Also scattered around the map are assorted chests containing cash and different power-ups. As you progress through the levels, you eventually gain the ability to upgrade your units, making them more powerful. So then you have to decide whether to buy new troops or upgrade existing ones, basically the difference between a small force of high powered troops, and a large force of weaker bandits. Either strategy can be effective, depending on the layout of the map you’re playing.





According to the Guns’N’Glory website, Handy Games has made significant updates to the game since it has launched. They’ve quadrupled the number of levels, from 10 to 40, added new units and items and made several performance tweaks. The current version of the game is supposed to be 1.5.4, but if you get the game through Amazon’s App Store like I did, you get version is 1.4.2. Also, I was unable to find the paid version through Amazon’s app store. Both are available directly from the Android Market though. Supposedly the only difference between the paid version and the free is the free contains ads, as stated on the Handy Games website: “The free version is using ads. That is the only difference between that version and the ad-free ("full") version! The ads are necessary to ensure that the hard working people that made this game possible are getting paid for their effort. If you find the ads disturbing you can still buy the ad-free version.” I didn’t find the ads all that annoying personally, but I liked the game enough that I bought the ad-free version to support the developers, and to get the fully updated copy of the game.


As for faults/bugs/etc with the game, I really didn’t experience much to speak of. There are some folks out there complaining about the “offensiveness” of the game, but I really didn’t take any notice or offense with it. Sure, it’s a bit stereotypical with the Indians calling you a paleface and such, but it really wasn’t anything to make a big deal about. After many hours of playing I never had a single crash or freeze. Loading times were actually amazingly fast for a phone game. About the only complaint I can make is that things can get a little hectic at times when you’re dealing with a large map with three entrance points, tons of troops all over the place that you’re trying to move around and upgrade, etc. That and it’s not really the type of game you can whip out and play for only a couple minutes while you’re waiting in line at the store. Levels tend to be long, taking a good bit of time to play between checkpoints. But all told, I would gladly pay FAR more for this game than I did, it’s great fun and I highly recommend it. And given that you can get the full game for free, there’s no risk in giving it a spin.





Pros:
Fun twists on the Tower Defense game style.
Huge amount of content.
Developers very active with constant updates to add content and fix issues.
Option of either an ad-free paid version or ad-supported free version without sacrificing any of the content in the game itself.


Cons:
Can get a bit hectic and overwhelming for some people, especially on a smaller screen.
Not really the type of game you can whip out and play for just a couple minutes here and there.
