Full Review of Tower Defense for Windows Mobile
Tower defense games have been around for a long time, years and years they have entertained people. There since recently there is a tower defense game released for the Windows Mobile WVGA/VGA platform. If for some reason you don’t know what a tower defense game is, in a tower defense game you get a map on you screen with obstacles and a base that you have to defend against enemies. You as the commander of this base have to defend your base by placing towers on the map that fire at the enemies. One of the better games that have landed on the Windows Mobile platform for sure.
When you start the game, over time enemies start coming from one side of the playing field to the other where they try to reach your home base. When you are unable to stop the enemies from entering your base and doing their damage you lose health. You have to prevent this because when your home base is destroyed you have lost the game. You must place your towers wisely in the way of the enemies to your base. In the case of this new Windows Mobile Tower Defense game from Color Stone Ltd you have a total of 6 different towers that you can plant down to defend your base. The towers can do different damage to the incoming enemies and there for you need a proper mix. On of the down sides of the game is that it’s not described anywhere what the towers actually do, so you have to observe against what enemies they work best. It’s a shame because it could have been described in a simple help page in the menu.
As you build more and more towers you gain money by destroying the enemies that are spawning on the field, with your new earned funds you can opt for upgrading your towers or buying new ones. Towers can be upgraded twice and as you do they become bigger and more bad ass, the graphics become cooler or more obvious and the towers gain more guns.
There are 2 levels that you can play and they are quite different so it often calls for a different strategy. Tower Defense features 3 difficult levels where easy is a good one to start out with. In the options menu you can select music/sound effects and there is a possibility to view your high score. There is not a real option to save option for this Windows Mobile game but you can quit and resume your game later on. So you are left with the option to either start a new game or resume the game you have been playing before.
This game is one of the best and most fun games featured on the newer WVGA/VGA Windows Mobile devices you can find. If you have always enjoyed Tower Defense games you should definitely get it, it is one of the better games that have ever graced the Windows Mobile game platform. The little downsides of this game include not being able to save different game and the fact that it’s not completely clear what the different towers do. But these little things do not take away from the fun of the game and it gets a 8.5 out of 10 easy.
