No Dpad:
Crystal War, by South Korean developer GNC Interactive, is a real-time linear strategy title belonging to a defense sub-genre typically called “castle-vs-castle”. It’s a genre that’s become rather crowded — like most genres on the app store — with titles like Battle of Puppets, Cartoon Wars, Armageddon and Ancient War, to name but a few. Of all these titles, however, Crystal War is the only castle-vs-castle game that’s managed to arrest my attention and hold my interest for more than a few minutes. Despite my hithero disinterest in the genre at large, Crystal War is a game that’s kept me coming back for days on end.
GameDynamo - "Today's Blacksmith Games' Appvent Calendar free game is Moonsters, an easy to learn but hard to master game that features a pack of cute, hungry monsters that must gather their friends and catch all the tofu before finding their spaceship."
Pocket Gamer: As my dear old granny always used to say, you can always trust a goblin to ruin the party.
In the world of Crystal War the relations between humans, elves, and goblins have historically been fairly cordial, with the three races happily attending each other's summer barbecues and social gatherings.
148Apps: "The basic premise is that you are the human/elf army fighting against the evil goblins. You start each level with a “Commender” (I think it’s meant to be a Commander), and must build up an army to kill the other goblin “Commender” on the other side of the side scrolling map."
