About this game

Desktop Tower Defense does not follow the generic Tower Defense game style. Unlike many other tower defense games, the path of the creeps themselves is not set; instead, the towers built determine the path of the creeps, who take the shortest path they can find to the exit. This allows for you to choose your own way of playing the game and it also allows for very interesting strategies.

Not only can you affect the path that the creeps follow, but you will also need to manage your finances and decide on whether it is more viable to build more turrets or upgrade your existing ones. Strategic placement of different turrets is key, since each turret has it's place and it's special ability.

The creeps come in waves at set intervals. Each wave of creeps has different characteristics, such as immunity to certain towers, extra resistance to certain towers, and the abilities to spawn new creeps, move faster than normal, or fly over the towers instead of following the maze. For each wave, the game rotates among the types of creeps.

Ratings and reviews

Placing towers is glitchy at best. Sometimes, a tower gets placed other times it doesn't. Towers are hard to get where you want them as they don't go right where the stylus is sitting but a bit higher and don't always drop, resulting in inefficiency and having to go back and forth trying to drop the same tower. Upgrading towers is impossible and doesn't function at all. Other than that, it's just like I remember it.

It's so close!!! This game is very fun, but a few silly design choices keep it from being great. The reset button should be in the pause menu, not above one of the most used buttons in the game. I accidentally lost all progress multiple times. And right as I feel the game is starting to become challenging, it ends. I would love to see an endless mode that tests my endurance and encourages me to improve. I really want to like this game. These fixes can make it perfect for me.

Perfect, if using a stylus. The zoom feature kinda just gets in the way. I have a note 9 and this is so much fun! another good idea is hooking up a mouse to your phone. I say these things because accurate tower placement is so important, to create paths for the creeps. mostly I want to write a 5 star review because there is nothing wrong with this app as far as I can tell. the low reviews almost caused me to not try it. the ads are only between games and you can just skip them!
