Intelligence Engine Design Systems (IEDS), a developer with a focus on gameplay innovation, today announced that City Conquest is now available for free download on Android devices.
"The tower defence genre has seen something of a resurgence, following the increase of powerful technology in the pocket with the birth of the iOS and Android operating systems. Many mobile developers have seen this trend, and this shows in the dearth of such titles on the App Store. Intelligence Engine Design, whilst embracing the genre, have also taken plenty of inspiration and ideas from the RTS (real-time strategy) genre, fusing both elements into this release. It is testament to their forward thinking that City Conquest works on many levels as an iOS-focused experience, and also an example of things actually getting done when a recipient of funding via Kickstarter."

Want to try a tower defense game or sharpen you skills? City Conquest by Paul Tozour of Gas Powered Games is your answer. For those who are unfamiliar with Tower Defense games, City Conquest is a great first game. The game will teach you what to do step-by-step. Each “battle” consists of a certain number of turns where you must attack your enemy city, defend your own city, manage your resources, and upgrade your offense/defense.
GameZebo: It's something of a given these days that developers have done everything they can do with the tower defense genre; the only solution, it seems, is to take what works and turn it on its head.
