Das Gamer: "The DS really has come into its own as a platform that has some of the most versatile and interesting games to play on it. Ninjatown, an uber-cool, top-down tower defense game, is the latest example of this.
The game, inspired by former game journalist-turned-artist Shawn Smith, tasks players with using the residents of Ninjatown-ninjas, naturally-to defend against an invasion by the evil Mr. Demon. Players can use many different types of ninjas, including average, super-strong and anti-air units, to defend against a wide variety of enemies, some that are impervious to normal attacks and others that spit fireballs as they pass."
Vgamerz writes: "As we know, licensed games are always a dodgy prospect. Alarm bells start to ring at the very mention of a ‘game-of-the-film,’ and we know they’re in immediate danger of rating high on the crapometer. For this egregious prejudice, I blame Superman 64 and its legacy of awful."
GR - "Tower defense has come a long way since its inception in Warcraft 3. Find out what the best of the tower defense genre has to offer."
Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)
I was just going to mention that. PixelJunk Monsters was an absolute blast to play. Even better co-op with someone else. :)
It's there in the "Awesome Tower Defense Games" below the first one(at the end of the list).
Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.
Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P
Castle TD is a freaking grind for crystals to level up, though. And, would love to have an ad free version for $1 or so.
Otherwise, it's got some great challenges with dastardly creep options. What's that? The four zeppelins in a row wasn't hard enough, here's some healers to show up just as you got them down in life!
Lol I'm fealling your pain man at points it makes me wanna slam my phone but I'm hooked and I don't mind the ads but I blocked them so I guess its why I don't mind them lol
It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.
StartGame: A volcano erupts near Ninjatown, which brings along Mr Demon and his hordes of devils, who are bent on the destruction of the town.
