Desktop Tower Defense Review
Generally I’m not a big fan of Flash based web games. I prefer to play games with a controller sitting on my couch, but when I heard the guys from DL.tv mention how much fun Desktop Tower Defense (DTD) was I thought I’d give it a try. Now that I’ve been playing it for a week I wish I had never heard of DTD because I can’t get anything done on the computer now. This game is so fun and addicting. This review took three days because I kept stopping to play DTD. It falls into one of may favorite categories…easy to play but hard to master.
The site gives this description ” Desktop TD is a flash based TD game, that pays homage to a few Warcraft 3 tower defense maps. You have to stop your enemies, or ‘creeps’, from traveling all the way across the screen. Tower pieces can be purchased and placed on the map to kill the creeps before they make it across.” Sounds simple enough, but it is quite challenging. After a few tries you’ll probably figure out a strategy that works for you. I prefer to setup my towers so they overlap and force a bottleneck in the middle of the map. This gives me more changes to attack the creeps.
The replayability of this game is through the roof. In addition to being able to play the game on Easy, Normal, or Hard there are 9 challenge modes and 4 fun modes. Personally, I play on normal most of the time because I can’t make it anywhere on Hard. My top score so far is 5640. Post your top score in the comments if you can beat me. If you’re a fan of tower defense or strategy games give Desktop Tower Defense a try.
