I am a little biased because I enjoy playing a lot of tower defense games in my toilet sessions when I let my inner demons out after munching some junk food. This game right here, on my phone, I probably rocked easy 1000+ hours. Is this the best tower defense game? Nope, not at all, nowhere near close. However, this is ancient, this is OG. I played it when it was a Warcraft 3 fan made map back in early 2000s when I was bored playing Dota 5.84c mindlessly for hours and I really liked it back then. Super chill, best for multitasking, great for office hours slavery. This may be totally ancient and probably extremely base level in today's standards, however, on sale this goes for like .50 USD. You really can't go wrong with a price fluctuating between 50 cents to a dollar. I can't think of anyone, even in North Korea, going broke with 50 damn cents. In my opinion, if you like this genre, this is a nice addition to your library/collection. It does have its own achievements within the game, unfortunately not implemented to Steam, and as an old school meister, I completed it all within few sessions but I definitely recommend buying this to anybody. Especially if you enjoy classic games.…

I generally like tower defence games but this one wasn't for me. I didn't like the system of combining elements, the towers were too small, and I just found it all to be a bit dull.

Good, But hard... anything beyond the $0.99 Price and I'd probably be pissed. I think it takes too long to unlock the elements, every 5 rounds takes too long, by the time you get all unlocked and start on the 2nd levels for the elements your under powered and under funded.

Fun.. but beat it on easy and normal both first try.. without much difficulty at all.. I like everything except the element combinations are just too complex... I prefer simple build one tower type then upgrade it. Overall I got it on sale for .50 so can't complain too much. If u have any interest in tower builders it's worth it.

The second one is way better but I already got my moneys worth. I have this on mobile too. At first it seems like there’s no strategy but once it’s starts getting hard you definitely need strategy.

Fun lil tower defense, especially considering the price... or rather the complete lack of it. Has 5 stages with some simple difficulty modifiers that change up enemy HP, enemy gold, wave compositions/wave ordering - nothing too crazy but it does force the player to plan differently and adapt differently depending on them. Towers have different elements to them (which counter each other - enemies take more damage from elements that counter them and less from elements which they counter), which can then be combined with other elements to create tier 2, and then even tier 3 towers, which in turn can then be upgraded with elemental gems which are earned every 5 waves - this all makes for some satisfying decision making on multiple layers, and then even more on top of that since towers can differ even functionally with some of them being buff towers for others. And then finally there's a pinch of complexity in the gold system - it's an interest system that basically gives you more gold the more you save in regular time intervals, meaning that decisions on whether to instantly buy and upgrade or wait and accumulate more gold can push you to do stuff differently than you would have oth…
