The Portable Gamer Review: Desktop Tower Defense For DS

TPG writes, "I like Tower Defense games. I like them alot. The one that got me into the genre is now considered a klassic: Desktop Tower Defense, on Kongregate. This is a flash game, fully free, that you can play on your computer. While at work, say. The premise is simple – keep all the little hand-drawn creepy bad guys from getting from point A at their entry gate to point B at their exit gate. The metaphor they crawl across is a desktop, with some clear space amongst the clutter, you messy monkey."

That this came out on the DS rather than the iPhone/touch, but at least it actually stands out on the DS rather than being 'yet another' tower defense game on the iPhone.

Neco5125791d ago

True, there are WAY too many on the iPhone

CrAppleton5791d ago

Is there such a thing as too many tower defense games?? Really? I think not..

wondroushippo5791d ago

I think so - there's just really so much that the genre can do, I think, and the only real notable games on the iPhone in the genre are free (TapDefense), fast-paced like an action game (geoDefense) or 3D and in space (Star Defense). Everything else just kind of blends in.

Tower defense games have never been too much fun for me, this one looks alright, but it's still the same old thing

WiFi Pirate5791d ago

I have yet to come across a Tower Defense Game that i liked. Even the rudimentary version based around Final Fantasy wasn't enough. But i have tried the original version of this when it was a flash based game. It's quirky and fun, just can't go the distance with me.

Spolodaface5791d ago

I feel the same way about ones with few powerups, enemy types and poor pacing (price of upgrades etc) but apart from that it's a solid formula.

Still wouldn't pay for one though.

Substance5791d ago

I've never liked Tower Defense type games either until I play Pixeljunk Monsters. That game is just awesome!

reluctant_gamer5791d ago

Jeezes, another platform. I'd still rather play one on my computer. I always get in trouble when I bring my DS to work.

SpoonyRedMage5791d ago

huh, a full retail version?

Wouldn't a DSiware release make more sense?

Review: Garden Tower Defense (dedegames.com)

If you know me you know I love two genres of games… Shooters and tower defense. I often find myself scanning the web in search of new free tower defense games. A ways back, while on this search I found myself on dedegames. There I discovered a game that I have indulged in for hours while on the job. This game is called Garden, TD.
