Hudson announces Creature Defense for PSP

Destructoid: Is it just me, or is the tower defense genre becoming the latest overly-exploited trend in the videogame industry? I guess since they’re so easy to design and the concept is something that anybody can grasp, it’s hardly surprising that so many have been popping up, especially on portable platforms. Speaking of which, here’s Hudson with Creature Defense for the PSP.

Creature Defense does things a little differently by bringing in another exploited videogame trope — card games. Yes, Japan’s obsession with cards has also been crammed into Creature Defense, lending more strategy to the usual "build towers, wait for monsters" gameplay by letting players draw cards that will affect the course of each stage. Special skills, attacks and monsters will all appear during a stage and players will need to deal with them as and when they appear.
