Now it's time to talk about best games ah in a genre that is one of the most popular in the 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 the game mechanics themselves have made a qualitative step forward, and the gameplay has become 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 lovers 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 metal barbarian. 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.

In fact, the perfect combination of balance, intuitive controls, inventive and complex designs and interesting levels with comic book graphics.

Fieldrunners 2

There is another benchmark of TD games besides Kingdom Rush and that 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 are all packed into incomparable TD gameplay.

Fieldrunner HD

For fans of the series, the sequel to the greatest game will go with a bang. This is the original mobile TD with legendary roots.

Clash Royale

The game appeared thanks to the Clash of Clans team. The product got 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. There is a piece from 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 absorbed all the positive aspects of Minecraft and has become one of the best 3D games in the TD genre.

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.

Release date: First 2008 Second - 2014

An arcade-tactical-shooter tower defense game in which players in the role of a battle mage will have to fight off countless hordes of orcs and goblins of various stripes. An interesting concept of the game - Orcs Must Die! - this is a non-standard tower defense, in which there is not even a single tower. Instead, we, in the role of a magician, rush around the location, independently reflecting the attacks of enemies and periodically setting up various tricky traps.

The game has several types of weapons, various magic, many traps, and all this can be improved using skulls - a special currency issued for completing a level on a particular difficulty. Of course, you won’t be able to take your entire arsenal into battle, so players will have to think through their battle tactics and take only what is guaranteed to come in handy.

Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten

Release date: 2012

Genre: fantasy RPG, tower defense

An original hybrid of genres such as tower defense and fantasy RPG, in which the gameplay is built around wide tactical possibilities, deep customization and a strong story. The combat system is based on tower defense mechanics, with the only difference being that instead of towers we have various traditional RPG heroes.

One of the gameplay features here is a tactical pause, which allows you to give orders to the heroes, but the battles themselves take place in real time. The speed of what is happening on the screen can be changed for the convenience of the player. Separately, it is worth noting the plot, which is built around each character and is always directly related to the gameplay. It's a pleasure to follow him.

But what is the difference from other similar projects?

The main difference is that towers and their upgrades here are maps that players need to find and upgrade. For each specific level, you will often have to change the deck, choosing the most optimal cards for passing. You can get cards in missions, in the daily lottery and when buying boosters (which, by the way, are purchased for game currency). Surplus cards can be sold or used to upgrade towers and spells or increase their level.

In addition to tower defense, the game contains elements of strategy and management. We will have to extract various resources and distribute them to improve certain defensive structures. The physics of the game deserves special attention - it is beyond praise here. Destroying the castles of the enemy is incredibly enjoyable, especially if you play online with other players.

To win the game, you will need to efficiently distribute the extracted resources by hiring new soldiers, improving them and supplying them with new weapons.

The gameplay here is as follows - you have a spaceship made of hexagonal panels that fit together to form starships of various shapes and sizes (depending on the mission). During the mission, you must use the available resources by building towers, turrets, rocket launchers, shields and boosters on panels, and survive in extremely hostile space, while trying not to lose cargo and complete your task.

The gameplay of the game is divided into strategic and "tower". In the strategic part, we, as survivors, explore the dungeon, extract treasures and resources, and in the second, we set up turrets and guard the crystal.

The plot here is purely nominal - you go to abandoned outposts to protect nearby cities and towns from hordes of monsters.

Places for traps and towers in each level are marked in advance, however, due to the nature of the characters available to play and the tactics used by the player, the gameplay may be fundamentally different. With the growth of the character's level and after completing some special conditions new devices are unlocked, active and passive skills, etc. In addition to the campaign, the game also has an endless mode in which the creatures become stronger and angrier, and the internal currency is given just enough so that you survive "with the last of your strength."
