METAL SLUG DEFENSE Review
When we think Metal Slug, our minds turn to classic arcade side-scroller action. What we don’t think of is the tower defense genre. However, that is precisely the catagory which SNK Playmore's new free-to-play title Metal Slug Defense falls into. That's not to say that there isn't some crossover between the classic games and this new enterprise. Creating a 2D side-scrolling tower defense title has allowed the developer to lift art straight from previous Metal Slug games. Th…

You’d be forgiven for thinking that a game called Flirty Birdys was a shameless rip-off designed to cash-in on the popularity of Angry Birds or Flappy Bird or one of the other avian-stuffed titles on the App Store. You couldn’t be more wrong, though. Flirty Birdys is, in fact, a quirky and colourful tower defence title in which you take on the role of a digital matchmaker. Basically, your aim is to manipulate male birds into falling in love with their female counterparts. In each level of the game, you have to - much like in any other tower defence title - strategically place towers (female birds, in this case) along a winding park pathway in order to successfully distract the…
Escher-inspired puzzle game Monument Valley will be turning heads this Thursday
When the first trailer for Monument Valley was released back in December, its topsy-turvy gameplay and Escher art style turned our heads in more ways than one. Now, developer ustwo has confirmed that beautiful puzzler will be hitting the App Store this Thursday. In the game, you take control of a little girl named Aida who is looking for forgiveness. You must lead her to the top of a series of towers by manipulating the environment itself, moving platforms and re-positioning objects to clear a path to the exit. As you can see from the video above, Monument Valley is a gorgeous looking game, realising a world which is as aesthetically pleasing as it is mathematically precise. Keep your…
Fight the future in new Plants vs. Zombies 2 sci-fi level pack
Popcap’s free-to-play tower-defense game, Plants vs. Zombies 2, has just received new set of levels, courtesy of the Far Future update. The update sends you and your army of botanical bombardiers into the future to battle an oncoming horde of sci-fi shamblers. As the game's 1970’s-style trailer shows, the update include two new plants - the wonderfully named Infi-Nut and Laser Bean - with which to battle your undead foes. The zombies also have their ranks bolstered with the addition of the new Jetpack Zombie. The Far Future update also introduces Power Tiles. These are scattered across the battlefield, and increase your plants' powers. Similarly, the effects of Plant Food ha…
Shellrazer gets new island and oodles of enemies in Bugzkrieg update
It easy to see why Shellrazer has been blowing up all over the App Store. After all, a side-scrolling shooter in which you mount a giant customisable War Turtle is a premise which is tricky to ignore. However, the turtle-powered blaster has just become even bigger thanks to the game's newest update, which adds a brand new island - and a ton of new enemies - to the game. The new island of Bugzkrieg is set to further expand this cartoony side scroller. The additional land mass takes the total number of islands up to three. and brings with it a host of new challenges. Introducing more than 50 new enemy units, Shellrazer now offers over a hundred types of advisories to shoot, snipe, a…
Naughty Kitties Review
If we had to describe Naughty Kitties in a pithy phrase, I guess we'd called it a 'tower-defence endless-flyer.' And, by smushing these seemingly disconnected genres together, Coconut Island Games has created an exciting, fast-paced strategy title. As with all endless-style games, the goal of Naughty Kitties is to travel as far as possible to earn experience and climb the leaderboard. In Naughty Kitties however, you are asked not to guide your avatar past obstacles, b…

If you're a massive fan of strategy titles and you download tower defence games from the App Store on a regular basis, there's a very good chance that you're already more than familiar with the Toy Defense series. More than 15 million gamers from around the world have played at least one of the franchise's instalments, after all. Anyway. Melesta Games have recently released a third entry in the popular series, and it represents a slight deviation from its two predecessors. Unlike Toy Defense and Toy Defense 2, which feature battles from World War I and World War II, respectively, Toy Defense 3: Fantasy is set in a magical 10th-century fantasy kingdom that's filled to the brim with pesky…

If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all. Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title. In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail. In order to protect Mike's workplace, you'll have to rally together his most loyal employees (the game's towers). They all have unique skills that will help you to repel the office invaders. Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds…
Sponsored Feature: What Android apps won in the race against iOS?
As an iPhone or iPad gamer, you may look down on your friend with his Galaxy S2 or other Android device. There are some reasons why you shouldn’t, though. Although the App Store still rules when it comes to mobile gaming, there are SOME titles that actually landed on Android first. Without further ado, then, let’s look at some of the best Android apps that were released ahead of their iOS counterparts. Little known One of the more noteworthy ones is Little Empire by Camel Games, which surfaced on Android weeks before it debuted on iOS devices. A freemium tower defence title doesn't sound like anything special, sure, but thanks to the superb presentation and enjoyable combat…
Sponsored Feature: Jed Games on JED-GO Untouchable for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone
Zombies. They’re (still) everywhere. These days, though, they’re about as frightening as a bad cold going around the office. We’ve been talking with Jed Games about their new app JED-GO Untouchable, and they are the first to admit zombies may have lost a little bit of their impact of late. (Well, maybe the second.) “Zombies are so popular now, no one’s surprised when you see their semi-decayed faces on-screen any more,” Jed Games say. Oh... and did we mention JED-GO Untouchable is a game about shooting zombies? But Jed Games are confident that their app does enough to blast through the global zombie fatigue and emerge on the 'other side' as a fresh an…
Anomaly Korea Review
Although it's dubbed as the sequel to last year's smash-hit Anomaly Warzone Earth, 'Korea' is more of an expansion as it tacks on a handful of new features, along with a handful of stages to enjoy them in. Don't let that discourage you though - if anything it refreshes the franchise and pairs well with the detailed visual overhaul also included in this release. The name of the game is 'tower defense', but instead of defending yourself from waves of enemies with towers, you're defendin…
