Fieldrunners 2
There is another benchmark for TD games besides Kingdom Rush and this is Fieldrunners. This is the second part of the game that creates the classic tower defense world with all its charms. Huge variety and large amount of content.
Plants vs Zombies
Defend your base from zombies using special units that spit, eat and blast enemies. Playing this game is like feeling a breath of fresh air.
Clash of Clans
The game is a mix of TD and strategy. You will have to build buildings and manage resources. This is an unrealistically influential and high-quality hybrid.
Kingdom Rush: Frontiers
The phrase "the next part of the series" usually has a negative effect, but for Kingdom Rush it sounds like a compliment. New environments, fresh towers, and original heroes all packed into an incomparable game process T.D.
Fieldrunner HD
For fans of the sequel series the greatest game will go to hell. This is the original mobile TD with legendary roots.
Clash Royale
The game appeared thanks to the Clash of Clans team. The product received an interesting mixture of TD, MOBA and card genre. Original gameplay + brilliant effects.
Kingdom Rush Origins
All 3 games in the series are more or less similar. And all of them are actually the best in their genre, a lot is not enough!
Royal Revolt!
Inside, the gameplay is very different from the classic TD. We advise everyone to try it, because it is thanks to the gameplay in which you attack, not defend, that the product has become so popular.
dead stop
This is a classic tower defense with elements of zombie attacks. Defend against waves of enemies using wild and unusual towers.
Anomaly 2
Like Royal Revolt, the Anomaly games turn the TD genre on its head. Here you do not defend yourself, but rather attack enemies, passing through the defensive rows of towers. At the same time, you get amazing emotions.
Sentinel 4: Dark Star
It took years for Sentinel 4 to come out after the acclaimed and legendary 3rd installment. I would like to say that the successor feels great. Old school TD + loads of new features = a winning mix.
Anomaly Defenders
Anomaly Defenders changes the course of previous games in the Anomaly series, but in the aftermath, it syncs with them. Very beautiful shell and unusual gameplay.
CastleStorm - Free to Siege
An example of early TD games that were merged with other genres. Here is a part of Angry Birds and a clear hack-n-slash, and all this together looks very harmonious.
Castle Doombad
Castle Doombad reverses the familiar look of the tower defense genre and makes you a super villain. A very sinister game.
bad hotel
The game complements the essence of TD with generative music and abstract exterior style, looks very fresh.
Guns'n'Glory WW2
The main attraction of Guns`n`Glory is the ability to drag their "towers", and in fact the soldiers, to the place of warfare, depending on the direction of the attack.
Block Fortress
The game has got it all positive sides Minecraft has become one of the best 3D TD games.
Bardbarian
Bardbarian combines TD, RPG and arcade shooter elements. From the outside it sounds illogical, but it works.
The second part was not as chic as the original. But in terms of its filling, it still offers a lot of interesting things for all those who want to enjoy the iconic TD.
Jelly Defense
The game boasts a fun graphic component. The gameplay is really pleasing to the eye: the monsters are bright and beautiful.
So it's time to talk about the best games in the genre, which is one of the most popular in App Store. Tower defense or immediately took root on mobile devices thanks to simplified controls that conventional strategies could not boast of. Today we bring to your attention seven of the best games in this genre that debuted on the app store over the past two years. Go!
1. Anomaly 2
Developer/Publisher: 11 bit Studios/Chillingo
Version: 1.3.1
The Anomaly series instantly fell in love with a huge number of players. Gorgeous high-tech graphics, a captivating storyline and an endless fight against alien invaders are the main features of the entire series and in particular. The game is different from typical Tower Defense in terms of gameplay. Let's just say it's tower defense in reverse. Players do not have to build towers, but overcome them using a squad of combat vehicles. An excellent tactical mode and a variety of units are included. But there is also a multiplayer...
2. Royal Revolt 2
Developer/Publisher:flaregames
Version: 1.6.0
Another original Tower Defense is next in line - a sequel to the rather popular Royal Revolt strategy. The second part has retained the features of the gameplay, which combines the "reverse mechanics" of Anomaly and elements of classic strategies. The player must not only break through the enemy's defenses, but also use numerous units for this, which are constantly built on the base. In addition, the hero himself participates in the battle, which is a very formidable force on the battlefield. many players liked less than, but both games deserve close attention for their dynamics and original finds in the gameplay.
3. Plants vs. Zombies 2
Developer/Publisher: PopCap/Electronic Arts
Version: 3.2.1
Probably, there are no such people who would not know about the famous confrontation between plants and zombies. A game-phenomenon comparable in popularity to the unforgettable Angry Birds. It is based on the classic tower defense mechanics, transferred to a small plot of land where the player needs to plant plants to counter the numerous zombies. The second part took under the wing Electronic Arts, which means the presence of built-in purchases and other trifles unpleasant for players. But she herself game mechanics made a qualitative step forward, and the gameplay became very diverse. One of the best games on the App Store of all time.
4 Kingdom Rush Origins
Developer/Publisher: Ironhide Game Studio
Version: 1.2
Next in our selection is a follower of one of the best games in the genre - Kingdom Rush Origins. Classic gameplay, multiplied by a fantasy setting, has long been to the taste of all fans of tower defense, but in the Kingdom Rush series these components are elevated to the absolute. Accordingly, we have excellent gameplay, many units and possible tactics, as well as nice graphics. The only drawback that the developers stubbornly keep is the division of the game into versions for iPhone and iPad. An extremely strange decision in the modern app store. However, this affects the popularity of the game quite insignificantly.
5. Bardbarian
Developer/Publisher: Bulkypix
Version: 1.4
Another original representative of the genre. Here we are talking not so much about protecting the towers, but about protecting the village from all evil spirits by a barbarian metal worker. The original concept and a number of unusual finds in the gameplay make the game extremely interesting. Several types of units can come to the aid of the hero, but music is predictably the strongest weapon in the game. In general, the game is available for free, so it is highly recommended for review. So original Tower Defense there are not so many.
6 Castle Doombad
Developer/Publisher:
Version: 1.1.2
Fabulous Tower Defense invites players to find themselves on the other side of the barricades. Here we do not fight evil, but we ourselves stand on its side. Being the owner of the castle where the princess is imprisoned, with the help of ingenious traps and devices, it is necessary to repel the encroachments of numerous knights and heroes. The original gameplay is complemented by no less original graphics and weapons - a great experiment, which also turned out to be quite successful.
7.OTTD
Developer/Publisher: SMG Studio
Version: 1.25
Finally, the bloodiest Tower Defense in this collection. The game with an intricate name faithfully respects the canons of the genre, adding to them only heroes that the player can control to support the towers. Funny opponents die in hundreds, covering the ground with their bodies. It all looks impressive. The game proved to be very popular, moved to OS X and is available for download in the Mac App Store. Fans of tower defense in the strict canons of the genre are recommended.
Tower Defense games ( "Tower Defense") are quite true to their name. We build turrets to protect ourselves from hordes of cockroaches/flies/zombies/planes/squares, etc., for successful defense we get coins/bonuses/resources, we build/improve turrets for them to protect ourselves from hordes... Well, you get the idea.
It may sound boring, but in practice these are quite exciting games with a simple interface. Our today's rating will allow you to get acquainted with the 5 best representatives of this genre. By the way, some of the games presented belong to the Castle Defense sub-genres, but we will summarize everything under one name, which is more familiar to a wide range.
By the way, games like Dota and LoL (MOBA) appeared solely due to the popularity of Tower Defense. DotA has a lot in common with TD: endless "batches" of attacking units, defensive turrets... So this humble genre that has contributed to the development of the gaming industry should not be underestimated.
DotA fans create TD maps, as if hinting: “This classic DotA is so boring! We want TD!
However, everyone can troll doters - it's better to go directly to the subject
Top 5 Tower Defense
Year of issue: 2012 Publisher: NevoSoft
Probably, in order to position their toy as fun for all ages, the developers decided to cheat and declare the soldiers toy. As a result, children can mow down hordes of attackers without any hesitation. The concept proved popular, so the second and third parts of this TD were released.
4th place. Bloons TD 5
Year of issue: 2012 Publisher: Ninja Kiwi
Starting with a simple flash game, the guys from Ninja Kiwi were able to create a whole series of confrontation between funny monkeys that hold back the invasion of ... balloons. To finally consolidate the success in 2012, the 5th version on Flash for PC was released.
3rd place. Turrets
Year of issue: 2010 Publisher: Alawar A game with cartoon graphics and the same cartoon monsters. Some of the "monsters" look so cute and harmless that even the dancing Groot is jealous of them: an obvious calculation for a children's audience. But, despite this, "Turrets" have also become popular among the older generation.
2nd place. Kingdom Rush
Year of issue: 2011 Publisher: Armor Games The beloved TD became popular, probably due to a small innovation: the presence of heroes. They were able to significantly influence the outcome of the confrontation, gradually improving their skills. In 2013, the second part, Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, was released.
