FTG Review: Fieldrunners 2 (iOS)
The original Fieldrunners was a tower defense classic to say the least. It set the bar extremely high for the pre-Angry Birds app store, and for tower defense games in general. In the years since, we’ve seen so many tower defense games that it’s not enough to just be a good one – you need a good hook to break the top 50 for even a day. Even past all of the tower defense clones, times have clearly changed since 2008, when the original came out. We’ve been through the Angry Birds revolution, and been through it for years. But Subatomic Studios laughs at the concept of adding hackneyed premises by making Fieldrunners 2 the crystal-clear example of how to do a good sequel. Instead of adding hooks and gimmicks to the maze-esque formula of the original, Fieldrunners 2 opts to show all kinds of ways to do tower defense, but is it worth your hard-earned dollars?
